Colossians 2:8-12

81See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through 2philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the 3elementary principles of the world, 4rather than in accordance with Christ.

9For in Him all the 5fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,

10and in Him you have been 6made 7complete, and 8He is the head 9over every 10ruler and authority;

11and in Him 11you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of 12the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ,

12having been 13buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also 14raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who 15raised Him from the dead.
