Colossians 2:10-12
International Children’s Bible
10 And in him you have a full and true life. He is ruler over all rulers and powers.

That is the kind of circumcision Christ does. 12 When you were baptized, you were buried with Christ and you were raised up with Christ because of your faith in God’s power. That power was shown when he raised Christ from death.
