11. in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Messiah;
12. having been buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13. You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
14. wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
15. having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16. Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
17. which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah’s.
18. Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19. and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God’s growth.
