New American Standard Bible 1995
Colossians 2:20-23
201If you have died with Christ 2to the 3elementary principles of the world, 4why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to 5decrees, such as,
21“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”
22(which all refer 6to things destined to perish 7with use)--in accordance with the 8commandments and teachings of men?
23These are matters which have, to be sure, the 9appearance of wisdom in 1011self-made religion and self-abasement and 12severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against 13fleshly indulgence.
