Colossians 2:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 And although you were dead[a][b] in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 having destroyed the certificate of indebtedness in ordinances against us, which was hostile to us, and removed it out of the way by[c] nailing it to the cross. 15 When he[d] had disarmed the rulers and the authorities, he made a display of them in public, triumphing over them by it.[e]
