⁹ For ^(A)in him the whole fullness of deity dwells ^(B)bodily, ¹⁰ and ^(C)you have been filled in him, who is ^(D)the head of all rule and authority. ¹¹ In him also ^(E)you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by ^(F)putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, ^12 (G)having been buried with him in baptism, in which ^(H)you were also raised with him through faith in ^(I)the powerful working of God, ^(J)who raised him from the dead. ^13 (K)And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God ^(L)made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, ¹⁴ by ^(M)canceling ^(N)the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. ^15 (O)He disarmed the rulers and authorities^[a] and ^(P)put them to open shame, by ^(Q)triumphing over them in him.^[b]

¹⁰ and ^(A)have put on ^(B)the new self, ^(C)which is being renewed in knowledge ^(D)after the image of ^(E)its creator. ^11 (F)Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,^[a] free; but Christ is ^(G)all, and in all.

^12 (H)Put on then, as ^(I)God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, ^(J)compassionate hearts, ^(K)kindness, ^(L)humility, meekness, and patience, ^13 (M)bearing with one another and, ^(N)if one has a complaint against another, ^(O)forgiving each other; ^(P)as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. ¹⁴ And above all these put on ^(Q)love, which ^(R)binds everything together in ^(S)perfect harmony.
