Colossians 2:13-15
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Indeed, God Made Us Alive With Christ, Having Forgiven All Our Trespasses
13 Indeed, you being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh— He made you alive-together with Him, having forgiven us all the trespasses, 14 having wiped-out[a] the written-document[b] against us with[c] its decrees, which was opposed to us. Indeed, He has taken it out of the middle, having nailed it to the cross! 15 Having stripped[d] the rulers and the authorities, He exposed them in public, having celebrated-a-triumph-over[e] them in Him[f]!
