Colossians 2:12-17

English Standard Version

¹²^(A)having been buried with him in baptism, in which ^(B)you were also raised with him through faith in ^(C)the powerful working of God, ^(D)who raised him from the dead. ¹³^(E)And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God ^(F)made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, ¹⁴by ^(G)canceling ^(H)the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. ¹⁵^(I)He disarmed the rulers and authorities^[a] and ^(J)put them to open shame, by ^(K)triumphing over them in him.^[b]

Let No One Disqualify You

¹⁶Therefore let no one ^(L)pass judgment on you ^(M)in questions of food and drink, or with regard to ^(N)a festival or ^(O)a new moon or a Sabbath. ¹⁷^(P)These are a shadow of the things to come, but ^(Q)the substance belongs to Christ.
