12You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.ⁱ 13^j And even when you were dead [in] transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he brought you to life along with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions; 14^* obliterating the bond against us, with its legal claims, which was opposed to us, he also removed it from our midst, nailing it to the cross;^k 15despoiling the principalities and the powers, he made a public spectacle of them,^l leading them away in triumph by it.^*
