## translationNotes
* **In him** - "In Jesus Christ"
* **you are ** - "you, Colossian believers, are"
* **completely fulfilled** - "made complete"
* **God circumcised you...** - This metaphor shows that God removed or took away a believer's sin in the same way as flesh is cut away or removed with a knife in circumcision. (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
* **buried with him...** - This metaphor describes how the old nature was put away forever at the time of salvation just as a physical body is put in the ground and covered with dirt when it dies. (See:[[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
* **raised up with him ** - This metaphor describes how believers are given a new nature just as a person who is raised from the dead is given life again. (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
