Colossians 2:8–15

⁸See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ, ⁹because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, ¹⁰and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority, ¹¹in whom also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of the Christ, ¹²being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with him through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

¹³And you—being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh—He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the trespasses, ¹⁴having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross; ¹⁵having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly—having triumphed over them in it.
