Colossians 2:16-22
16Therefore, no one is to 12act as your judge in regard to 3food and 4drink, or in respect to a 5festival or a 6new moon, or a 7Sabbath 8day-- 17things which are only a 9shadow of what is to come; but the 10substance 11belongs to Christ. 18Take care that no one keeps 1213defrauding you of your prize by 14delighting in humility and the worship of the angels, 15taking his stand on visions he has seen, 1617inflated without cause by his 18fleshly mind, 19and not holding firmly to 19the head, from whom 20the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and 21ligaments, grows with a growth 22which is from God.
2023If you have died with Christ 24to the 25elementary principles of the world, 26why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to 27decrees, such as, 21“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” 22(which all refer 28to things destined to perish 29with use)--in accordance with the 30commandments and teachings of man?
