Colossians 2:15
Compare all
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.  
15 aHaving disarmed bprincipalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.  
16 So let no one ajudge you in food or in drink, or regarding a1 festival or a new moon or sabbaths,  
17 awhich are a shadow of things to come, but the1 substance is of Christ.  
18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has1 not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,  
19 and not holding fast to athe Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, bgrows with the increase that is from God.  
20 Therefore, if you adied with Christ from the basic principles of the world, bwhy, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 
21 a“Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,”

What Does Colossians 2:15 Mean?



Colossians 2:11-15

In verses 11 through 14, Paul shows how Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for our sins and now our past sins, brought about by conforming to the ways, practices, and philosophies of this world, are completely blotted out and nailed to His cross. He reminds them that Christ has completely conquered all of the evil spirits who continue to rule this present, evil world and who inspire the pagan philosophies that had so influenced the Colossian society: "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it" (verse 15).
