Colossians 2:8-12

8 See to it that no one takes you captive by ^aphilosophy and ^bempty deceit, according to ^chuman tradition, according to the ^delemental spirits ^{▼▼Or elementary principles; also verse 20} of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For ^fin him the whole fullness of deity dwells ^gbodily, 10 and ^hyou have been filled in him, who is ⁱthe head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also ^jyou were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by ^kputting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 ^lhaving been buried with him in baptism, in which ^myou were also raised with him through faith in ⁿthe powerful working of God, ^owho raised him from the dead.
