Colossians 2:14-23

14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15And having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.1

16Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths:23 17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,45 19And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20Therefore if ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,6 21(Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22Which all are to perish with the using;) according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23These things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.7
