^6 (A)As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, ^7 (B)rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding ^[a]in it with thanksgiving.

⁸ Beware lest anyone ^[b]cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to ^(C)the tradition of men, according to the ^(D)basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. ⁹ For ^(E)in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead ^[c]bodily; ¹⁰ and you are complete in Him, who is the ^(F)head of all ^[d]principality and power.

Not Legalism but Christ

¹¹ In Him you were also ^(G)circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by ^(H)putting off the body ^[e]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, ^12 (I)buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through ^(J)faith in the working of God, ^(K)who raised Him from the dead. ¹³ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, ^14 (L)having wiped out the ^[f]handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. ^15 (M)Having disarmed ^(N)principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
