Colossians 2:8-12

New American Standard Bible

^8 (A)See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through ^(B)philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the ^(C)elementary principles of the world, ^[a]rather than in accordance with Christ. ⁹ For in Him all the ^(D)fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, ¹⁰ and in Him you have been ^(E)made ^[b]complete, and ^(F)He is the head ^[c]over every ^(G)ruler and authority; ¹¹ and in Him ^(H)you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of ^(I)the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, ¹² having been ^(J)buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also ^(K)raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who ^(L)raised Him from the dead.
