Colossians 2:16-23

16ThereforeG3767 let noG3361 oneG5100 judgeG2919 youG4771 byG1722 what you eatG1035 orG2532 drinkG4213, orG2228 withG1722 regard toG3313 a feastG1859, a New MoonG3561, orG2228 a SabbathG4521. 17TheseG3739 areG1510 a shadowG4639 of the thingsG3588 to comeG3195, butG1161 theG3588 bodyG4983 that casts it belongs toG3588 ChristG5547.1 18Do not let anyone who delightsG2309 inG1722 false humilityG5012 andG2532 the worshipG2356 of angelsG32 disqualifyG2603 youG4771 with speculation aboutG1687 whatG3739 he has seenG3708. Such a person is puffed upG5448 without basisG1500 byG5259 hisG846 unspiritualG3588G4561 mindG3563. 19He has lost connectionG3756G2902 to theG3588 headG2776, fromG1537 whomG3739 theG3588 wholeG3956 bodyG4983, supportedG2023 andG2532 knit togetherG4822 byG1223 its jointsG860 andG2532 ligamentsG4886, growsG837 asG3588 GodG2316 causes it to growG838.

20IfG1487 you have diedG599 withG4862 ChristG5547 toG575 theG3588 spiritual forcesG4747 of theG3588 worldG2889, whyG5101, as thoughG5613 you still belongedG2198 toG1722 the worldG2889, do you submit to its regulationsG1379: 21“DoG3361 not handleG680, doG3366 not tasteG1089, doG3366 not touchG2345!”? 22These willG1510 allG3956 perishG5356 withG3588 useG671, because they are based onG2596 humanG3588G444 commandsG1778 andG2532 teachingsG1319. 23SuchG3748 restrictions indeedG3303 haveG2192 an appearanceG3056 of wisdomG4678, withG1722 their self-prescribed worshipG1479, their false humilityG5012, andG2532 their harsh treatmentG857 of the bodyG4983; but they areG1510 ofG1722 noG3756 valueG5092 againstG4314 the indulgenceG4140 of theG3588 fleshG4561.
