Colossians 2:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Colossians 2:10

8 Beware lest anyone¹ cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to ^athe tradition of men, according to the ^bbasic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

9 For ^ain Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead¹ bodily;

10 and you are complete in Him, who is the ^ahead of all principality and power.

Not Legalism but Christ

11 In Him you were also ^acircumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by ^bputting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

12 ^aburied with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through ^bfaith in the working of God, ^cwho raised Him from the dead.

13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

14 ^ahaving wiped out the¹ handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
