Colossians 2:9-15

9For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,

10and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

11In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

12having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.

13And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

14by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

15He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
