16LetG2919 noG3361 manG5100 thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 youG5209 inG1722 foodG1035, orG2228 inG1722 drinkG4213, orG2228 inG1722 respectG3313 of a feast dayG1859, orG2228 of the new moonG3561, orG2228 of the sabbathsG4521:23 17WhichG3739 areG2076 a shadowG4639 of things to comeG3195; butG1161 the bodyG4983 is of ChristG5547. 18LetG2603 no manG3367 beguileG2603 youG5209 of your rewardG2603 inG1722 a voluntaryG2309 humilityG5012 andG2532 worshippingG2356 of angelsG32, intruding intoG1687 those things whichG3739 he hathG3708 notG3361 seenG3708, vainlyG1500 puffed upG5448 byG5259 hisG846 fleshlyG4561 mindG3563,45 19AndG2532 notG3756 holdingG2902 the HeadG2776, fromG1537 whichG3739 allG3956 the bodyG4983 byG1223 jointsG860 andG2532 bandsG4886 having nourishment ministeredG2023, andG2532 knit togetherG4822, increasethG837 with the increaseG838 of GodG2316. 20ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 ye are deadG599 withG4862 ChristG5547 fromG575 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, whyG5101, as thoughG5613 livingG2198 inG1722 the worldG2889, are ye subject to ordinancesG1379,6 21(TouchG680 notG3361; tasteG1089 notG3366; handleG2345 notG3366; 22WhichG3739 allG3956 areG2076 toG1519 perishG5356 with the usingG671;) according toG2596 the commandmentsG1778 andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of menG444? 23These thingsG3748 haveG2192 indeedG3303 a showG2076G3056 of wisdomG4678 inG1722 will worshipG1479, andG2532 humilityG5012, andG2532 neglectingG857 of the bodyG4983; notG3756 inG1722 anyG5100 honourG5092 toG4314 the satisfyingG4140 of the fleshG4561.7
