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 every 6ruler and authority; 11and in Him 7you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed 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 with Him through faith in the working of God, who 11raised Him from the dead. 13And 12when you were 13dead 14in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He 15made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, 14having canceled 16the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and 17He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15When He had 18 19disarmed the 20rulers and authorities, He 21made a public display of them, having 22triumphed over them through 23Him.
