For in him dwelleth body-like all the fullness of the Godhead.

10 And ye be filled in him [And ye be fulfilled in him], that is head of all principat and power.

11 In whom also ye be circumcised in circumcision not made with hand, in despoiling of the body of flesh [in nakedness of the body of flesh], but in circumcision of Christ;

12 and ye be buried together with him in baptism, in whom also ye have risen again by faith of the working of God, that raised him from death.[a]

13 And when ye were dead in your guilts, and in the prepuce of your flesh, he quickened together you with him; forgiving to you all guilts [all guilts, or trespasses],

14 doing away that writing of decree that was against us, that was contrary to us; and he took away that from the middle, pitching it on the cross [pitching it to the cross];

15 and he spoiled principats and powers, and led out trustily, openly overcoming them in himself.

  1. Colossians 2:12 together buried with him in baptism, in whom and ye have risen again by faith of the working of God, that raised him from dead.

For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, 10 and you are complete in him, who is the head of all rule and power. 11 In him also you are circumcised, with the circumcision that is made without hands, by putting off the sinful body of the flesh through the circumcision that is in Christ, 12 in that you are buried with him through baptism; in whom you are also risen again through faith, which is wrought by the operation of God, who raised him from death.

13 And you who were dead in sin through the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened to life with him, and has forgiven us all our trespasses. 14 And he has put out the handwriting that was against us, contained in the written law: he has taken it out of the way and has fastened it to his cross, 15 and has spoiled rule and power, and has made a show of them openly, and has triumphed over them in his own person.

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

For in Christ all the fullness(A) of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head(B) over every power and authority.(C) 11 In him you were also circumcised(D) with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[a](E) was put off when you were circumcised by[b] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism,(F) in which you were also raised with him(G) through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(H)

13 When you were dead in your sins(I) and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[c] alive(J) with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,(K) 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,(L) which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.(M) 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities,(N) he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them(O) by the cross.[d]
