Colossians 2:18-23
Read Colossians 2 in full →18Let no one keep 1,adefrauding you of your prize by bdelighting in 2self-abasement and the worship of the angels, going into detail about visions he has seen, cbeing puffed up for nothing by his dfleshly mind, 19and not holding fast to athe head, from whom bthe entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and 1ligaments, grows with a growth 2that is from God.
20aIf you have died with Christ 1to the belementary principles of the world, cwhy, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to ddecrees: 21“Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”? 22Which 1deal with everything adestined to perish 2with use, which are in accordance with the bcommands and teachings of men; 23which are matters having, to be sure, a 1word of wisdom in 2,aself-made religion and self-abasement and bsevere treatment of the body, but are of no value against cfleshly indulgence.
