Colossians 2:10-19

10and ayou have been filled in him, who is bthe head of all rule and authority. 11In him also cyou were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by dputting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 ehaving been buried with him in baptism, in which fyou were also raised with him through faith in gthe powerful working of God, hwho raised him from the dead. 13 iAnd you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God jmade alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14by kcanceling lthe record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 mHe disarmed the rulers and authorities
Probably demonic rulers and authorities
and oput them to open shame, by ptriumphing over them in him.
Or  in it (that is, the cross)


Let No One Disqualify You

16Therefore let no one rpass judgment on you sin questions of food and drink, or with regard to ta festival or ua new moon or a Sabbath. 17 vThese are a shadow of the things to come, but wthe substance belongs to Christ. 18Let no one xdisqualify you, yinsisting on asceticism and worship of angels, zgoing on in detail about visions,
Or  about the things he has seen
abpuffed up without reason by achis sensuous mind,
19and adnot aeholding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

1 John 5:11-12

11And this is the testimony, that God gave us afeternal life, and agthis life is in his Son. 12 ahWhoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
