Colossians 2:16-23

New King James Version

¹⁶ So let no one ^(A)judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a ^[a]festival or a new moon or sabbaths, ^17 (B)which are a shadow of things to come, but the ^[b]substance is of Christ. ¹⁸ Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has ^[c]not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, ¹⁹ and not holding fast to ^(C)the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, ^(D)grows with the increase that is from God.

^20 [d]Therefore, if you ^(E)died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, ^(F)why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— ^21 (G)“Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” ²² which all concern things which perish with the using—^(H)according to the commandments and doctrines of men? ^23 (I)These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and ^[e]neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
