Stripped

2:15
And having spoiled principality and power, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

The Bible teaches us here that Jesus put Satan to nough and He triumphed over him. Another translation reads, "He stripped him." What did He strip Satan of? His authority over man.
And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself and boldly displayed them as His conquest. .. (Weymouth).
When Jesus put Satan to nought and stripped him of his Authority, it was you in Christ who did the work. Christ acted in your steadily in your place. He did it for you.
   What Jesus Christ did was marked to your credit. He did it as your substitute. (He did it in your place, and God marked it to credit as though you were the one who did it!).
  No, we're not bragging about what you are in the flesh. (You don't amount to much in the flesh.) We're taking about who you are in Christ. 
You can say, "In Christ, I conquered Satan. I stripped him of his Authority, And when Jesus arose from the dead, I arose with Him!"
