Proverbs 30:4-6
Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in his garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou knowest? (5) Every word of God is tried: he is a shield unto them that trust in him. (6) Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Romans 3:22b-23
for there is no distinction; (23) for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
I.E. he was begotten of God, then through him all things were created. The bible never said anywhere Jesus was created but was in fact party to the act of creation. Just continue that passage you cited

Colossians 1:16-17
for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him; (17) and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.

do you know what a firstBORN is?
πρωτοτόκος
prōtotokos
pro-tot-ok'-os
From prōtos and the alternate of tiktō; first born (usually as noun, literally or figuratively): - firstbegotten (-born).
τίκτω
tiktō
tik'-to
A strengthened from of a primary word τέκω tekō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to produce (from seed, as a mother, a plant, the earth, etc.), literal or figurative: - bear, be born, bring forth, be delivered, be in travail.
κτίσις
ktisis
ktis'-is
From ktizō; original formation (properly the act; by implication the thing, literally or figuratively): - building, creation, creature, ordinance.
The passage is actually making the distinction between Jesus & everything else; in the original text.
κτίζω
ktizō
ktid'-zo
Probably akin to ktaomai(through the idea of the proprietorship of the manufacturer); to fabricate, that is, found (form originally): - create, Creator, make.
. At the time of the Nicene Council, both Arians and Athanasians were fond of using them to prove that Christ existed as a personal being before his birth or “Incarnation.” The difference, of course, was that the Arians thought he had a beginning and was the first creature whom God made; while the Athanasians thought he had no beginning and was himself “co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial” with the Father. The result of such terms was the claim, still insisted on by Trinitarians today, that Jesus must be seen to be God just as the Father is seen to be God.
This writer questions seriously, however, whether any such ideas were in Paul’s mind or in God’s inspiration through the Spirit upon Paul’s writing of Scripture.
