Colossians 2:8–15

⁸Beware lest anyone ⁵cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to ⁱthe tradition of men, according to the ^jbasic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. ⁹For ^kin Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead ⁶bodily; ¹⁰and you are complete in Him, who is the ^lhead of all ⁷principality and power.

Not Legalism But Christ

¹¹In Him you were also ^mcircumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by ⁿputting off the body ⁸of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, ^12oburied with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through ^pfaith in the working of God, ^qwho raised Him from the dead. ¹³And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, ^14rhaving wiped out the ⁹handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. ^15sHaving disarmed ^tprincipalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
