Colossians 2:11-15 ( NRSV ) In him also you were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision, by putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ, 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. And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set his aside, nailing it to the cross. His disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it. |
