Colossians 2:9-15
Christian Standard Bible
9 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)

Colossians 2:9-15
New American Standard Bible
9 For in Him all the (A)fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 10 and in Him you have been (B)made [a]complete, and (C)He is the head [b]over every (D)ruler and authority; 11 and in Him (E)you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of (F)the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been (G)buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also (H)raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who (I)raised Him from the dead. 13 And [c]when you were (J)dead [d]in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He (K)made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, 14 having canceled (L)the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and (M)He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 When He had [e](N)disarmed the (O)rulers and authorities, He (P)made a public display of them, having (Q)triumphed over them through [f]Him.
