Colossians 2:11-17
New American Standard Bible
11 and in Him (A)you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of (B)the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been (C)buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also (D)raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who (E)raised Him from the dead. 13 And [a]when you were (F)dead [b]in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He (G)made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, 14 having canceled (H)the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and (I)He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 When He had [c](J)disarmed the (K)rulers and authorities, He (L)made a public display of them, having (M)triumphed over them through [d]Him.
16 Therefore, no one is to [e](N)act as your judge in regard to (O)food and (P)drink, or in respect to a (Q)festival or a (R)new moon, or a (S)Sabbath [f]day— 17 things which are only a (T)shadow of what is to come; but the [g]substance [h]belongs to Christ.
