2013 · Colossians 1:16-20 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth … All other things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist … 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all other things by making peace through the blood he shed on the torture stake”

The word 'other' appears five times in these verses in the 2013 revision, with no brackets and no footnote marking it as an addition.
