Colossians 2:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ And you are fully grown because you belong to Christ, who is over every power and authority. ¹¹ Christ has also taken away your selfish desires, just as circumcision removes flesh from the body. ^12 (A) And when you were baptized, it was the same as being buried with Christ. Then you were raised to life because you had faith in the power of God, who raised Christ from death.
