Colossians 2:11-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ In him also you were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision,^[a] by the removal of the body^[b] of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ;^{(A) 12} when you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.^{(B) 13} And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God^[c] made you^[d] alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses,^{(C) 14} erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross. ¹⁵ He disarmed^[e] the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it.^(D)
