Dear Virgil,

It really seems to me that ARCH would be better translated here as,
"Origin" based on its relationship to the Church and Firstborn from
the dead. The Firstborn from the dead gave existence to the church by
being Firstborn from the dead. So concerning the grammatical and 
lexical aspect of this passage I would prefer "origin".
