A Textual Commentary On Col 2:14

The verb used for ἐξαλείψας (blotted out/canceled) is the technical term for ‘washing out’ the writing from a papyrus sheet.  So complete was the forgiveness which Christ by His work secured, that it completely cancelled the old bond, that had hitherto been valid against us, for it bore our signature (χειρόγραφον). (George Milligan, Here and There Among The Papyri, p5)
