10 And you have been filled by him, who is the head of every ruler and authority.
11 You were also circumcised by him. This wasn’t performed by human hands—the whole body was removed through this circumcision by Christ.
12 You were buried with him through baptism and raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 When you were dead because of the things you had done wrong and because your body wasn’t circumcised, God made you alive with Christ and forgave all the things you had done wrong.
14 He destroyed the record of the debt we owed, with its requirements that worked against us. He canceled it by nailing it to the cross.
15 When he disarmed the rulers and authorities, he exposed them to public disgrace by leading them in a triumphal parade.
16 So don’t let anyone judge you about eating or drinking or about a festival, a new moon observance, or sabbaths.
