Colossians 2:9-15

9For in Him all the 1fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 10and in Him you have been 2made 3complete, and 4He is the head 5over all 6rule and authority; 11and in Him 7you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of 8the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; 12having been 9buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also 10raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who 11raised Him from the dead. 13When you were 12dead 13in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He 14made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, 14having canceled out 15the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and 16He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15When He had 17 18disarmed the 19rulers and authorities, He 20made a public display of them, having 21triumphed over them through 22Him.
