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.

11 In Him you were also (C)circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by (D)putting off the body [c]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 (E)buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through (F)faith in the working of God, (G)who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 (H)having wiped out the [d]handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 (I)Having disarmed (J)principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
