John 1:3
KJV
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
NIV
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
Jesus, the Word, the Son, always is, always was and always will be the second person of the Godhead – and all things were made “by” him. He was not a channel “through” which God made everything, as the modern versions seem to suggest. See also Col 1:16, Eph 3:9.
