9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the
head over every power and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human
hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, 12 having been buried with him
in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the
dead.
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us
all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has
taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of
them, triumphing over them by the cross
