All (other) things created through him

Colossians 1.16-17:

NWT - because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him. Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist,

KIT - ὅτι (because) ἐν (in) αὐτῷ (him) ἐκτίσθη (it was created) τὰ (the) πάντα (all (things) ἐν (in) τοῖς (the) οὐρανοῖς (heavens) καὶ (and) ἐπὶ (upon) τῆς (the) ,(earth) τὰ (the (things) ὁρατὰ (visible) καὶ (and) τὰ (the (things) ,(invisible) εἴτε (whether) θρόνοι (thrones) εἴτε (or) κυριότητες (lordships) εἴτε (or) ἀρχαὶ (governments) εἴτε (or) ἐξουσίαι· (authorities;) τὰ (the) πάντα (all (things) δι’ (through) αὐτοῦ (him) καὶ (and) εἰς (into) αὐτὸν (him) ἔκτισται· (it has been created;) καὶ (and) αὐτὸς (he) ἔστιν (is) πρὸ (before) πάντων (all (things) καὶ (and) τὰ (the) πάντα (all (things) ἐν (in) αὐτῷ (him) ,(it has stood together)

 

Analysis

In the original Greek the word “other” is not present 

This is an addition by the NWT translators

They have added to God’s word, and by doing so they have taken away the truths from it

Jesus is the creator of ALL things, as stated clearly 3 times in this one verse.
