Colossians 2:10-19

English Standard Version

¹⁰ and ^(A)you have been filled in him, who is ^(B)the head of all rule and authority. ¹¹ In him also ^(C)you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by ^(D)putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, ^12 (E)having been buried with him in baptism, in which ^(F)you were also raised with him through faith in ^(G)the powerful working of God, ^(H)who raised him from the dead. ^13 (I)And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God ^(J)made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, ¹⁴ by ^(K)canceling ^(L)the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. ^15 (M)He disarmed the rulers and authorities^[a] and ^(N)put them to open shame, by ^(O)triumphing over them in him.^[b]

Let No One Disqualify You

¹⁶ Therefore let no one ^(P)pass judgment on you ^(Q)in questions of food and drink, or with regard to ^(R)a festival or ^(S)a new moon or a Sabbath. ^17 (T)These are a shadow of the things to come, but ^(U)the substance belongs to Christ. ¹⁸ Let no one ^(V)disqualify you, ^(W)insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, ^(X)going on in detail about visions,^{[c] (Y)}puffed up without reason by ^(Z)his sensuous mind, ¹⁹ and ^(AA)not ^(AB)holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
