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.

For all the fullness of God’s being dwells bodily in Christ. 10 And you have been brought to fullness in him. Christ is the head over every ruler and authority. 11 You were also circumcised in him, with a circumcision not done by human hands, in the putting off of the body of flesh,[a] in the circumcision of Christ, 12 when you were buried with Christ in baptism. And in baptism you were also raised with him through the faith worked by the God who raised Christ from the dead.

13 Even when you were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ by forgiving us all our trespasses. 14 God erased the record of our debt brought against us by his legal demands. This record stood against us, but he took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 After disarming the rulers and authorities, he made a public display of them by triumphing over them in Christ.
