Colossians 2:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Sovereign Role of Christ. 9 (A)For in him dwells the whole fullness of the deity[a] bodily, 10 and you share in this fullness in him, who is the head of every principality and power. 11 (B)In him[b] you were also circumcised with a circumcision not administered by hand, by stripping off the carnal body, with the circumcision of Christ.
