Colossians 2:10-19

NSB(i) 10 You are made full (complete) (perfect) (mature) in him. He is the head over all government and authority. 11 You were also circumcised in him with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ. 12 You have been buried with him in baptism. You were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses. 14 He blotted out the bond written in ordinances. It was against us and was contrary to us. He has taken it out of the way. He nailed it to the stake. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities! He made a public display of them triumphing over them. 16 Let no man judge you in food or in drink or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day. 17 They are a shadow of the things to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no man rob you of your prize by a self-abasement and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things that he has seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 not holding fast to the head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, grows with the growth from God.
