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

Colossians 2:9-15
Common English Bible
9 All the fullness of deity lives in Christ’s body. 10 And you have been filled by him, who is the head of every ruler and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not administered by human hands. The circumcision of Christ is realized in the stripping away of the whole self dominated by sin. 12 You were buried with him through baptism and raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 When you were dead because of the things you had done wrong and because your body wasn’t circumcised, God made you alive with Christ and forgave all the things you had done wrong. 14 He destroyed the record of the debt we owed, with its requirements that worked against us. He canceled it by nailing it to the cross. 15 When he disarmed the rulers and authorities, he exposed them to public disgrace by leading them in a triumphal parade.
