For the entire fullness(A) of God’s nature dwells bodily[a] in Christ, 10 and you have been filled by him, who is the head(B) over every ruler and authority. 11 You were also circumcised in him with a circumcision not done with hands, by putting off the body of flesh,(C) in the circumcision of Christ,(D) 12 when you were buried with him(E) in baptism, in which you were also raised with him(F) through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(G) 13 And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive with him and forgave us all our trespasses. 14 He erased the certificate of debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.(H) 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and disgraced them publicly; he triumphed over them in him.[b](I)
