Colossians 2:20-23

20You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as,

21“Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”?

22Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.

23These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.
