Colossians 2:9-14

9For in Him allG3956 the 1fullnessG4138 of DeityG2320 dwellsG2730 in bodilyG4985 formG4985,

10and in Him you have beenG1510 2madeG4137 3completeG4137, and 4He is the headG2776 5over allG3956 6ruleG746 and authorityG1849;

11and in Him 7you were alsoG2532 circumcisedG4059 with a circumcisionG4061 madeG886 withoutG886 handsG886, in the removalG555 of 8the bodyG4983 of the fleshG4561 by the circumcisionG4061 of ChristG5547;

12having been 9buriedG4916 with Him in baptismG908, in whichG3739 you were alsoG2532 10raisedG4891 up with Him throughG1223 faithG4102 in the workingG1753 of GodG2316, who 11raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498.

13When you were 12deadG3498 13in your transgressionsG3900 and the uncircumcisionG203 of your fleshG4561, He 14madeG4806 you aliveG4806 togetherG4806 with Him, having forgivenG5483 us allG3956 our transgressionsG3900,

14having canceledG1813 out 15the certificateG5498 of debtG5498 consisting of decreesG1378 againstG2596 us, whichG3739 was hostileG5227 to us; and 16He has takenG142 it out of the wayG3319, having nailedG4338 it to the crossG4716.
