^13 (A)And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God ^(B)made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, ¹⁴ by ^(C)canceling ^(D)the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. ^15 (E)He disarmed the rulers and authorities^[a] and ^(F)put them to open shame, by ^(G)triumphing over them in him.^[b]

¹⁶ Let ^(A)the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, ^(B)singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ^(C)with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
