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
Revised Standard Version
9 For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have come to fulness of life in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ; 12 and you were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 having canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the principalities and powers and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in him.[a]
