6as, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk ye,
7being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught -- abounding in it in thanksgiving.

10and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority,
11in whom also ye were 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 the Christ,
