Colossians 2:10-14
2:10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
2:11 In him you also were circumcised – not, however,
with a circumcision performed by human hands, but by the removal
of the fleshly body,
that is,
through the circumcision done by Christ.
2:12 Having been buried with him in baptism, you also have been raised with him through your
faith in the power
of God who raised him from the dead.
2:13 And even though you were dead in your
transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless
made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.
2:14 He has destroyed
what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness
expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.
Colossians 2:20
