New International Version
9 For in Christ all the fullness(A) of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head(B) over every power and authority.(C) 11 In him you were also circumcised(D) with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[a](E) was put off when you were circumcised by[b] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism,(F) in which you were also raised with him(G) through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(H)
13 When you were dead in your sins(I) and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[c] alive(J) with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,(K) 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,(L) which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.(M) 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities,(N) he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them(O) by the cross.[d]
