Colossians 2:6-15

⁶ 那麼那麼, as you received 耶穌 as 主 and Christ, now live your lives in him,

⁷ be rooted in him and built up on him, held firm by the 信仰 you have been taught, and overflowing with thanksgiving.

⁸ Make sure that no one captivates you with the empty lure of a ‘philosophy’ of the kind that human beings hand on, based on the principles of this world and not on Christ.

⁹ In him, in bodily form, lives divinity in all its fullness,

¹⁰ and in him you too find your own fulfilment, in the one who is the head of every sovereignty and ruling force.

¹¹ In him you have been circumcised, with a circumcision performed, not by human hand, but by the complete stripping of your natural self. This is circumcision according to Christ.

¹² You have been buried with him by your baptism; by which, 也, you have been raised up with him through your belief in the power of God 誰使他從死裡復活.

¹³ You were dead, because you were sinners and uncircumcised in body: he has brought you to life with him, he has forgiven us every one of our sins.

¹⁴ He has wiped out the record of our debt to the Law, which stood against us; he has destroyed it by nailing it to the cross;

¹⁵ and he has stripped the sovereignties and the ruling forces, and paraded them in public, behind him in his triumphal procession.
