Colossians 2:18-23
New King James Version
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 [a]not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to (A)the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, (B)grows with the increase that is from God.
20 [b]Therefore, if you (C)died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, (D)why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 (E)“Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—(F)according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 (G)These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and [c]neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Colossians 2:18-23
New International Version
18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility(A) and the worship of angels disqualify you.(B) Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head,(C) from whom the whole body,(D) supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.(E)
20 Since you died with Christ(F) to the elemental spiritual forces of this world,(G) why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:(H) 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish(I) with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.(J) 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility(K) and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Matthew 15:6-9
New King James Version
6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the [b]commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 (A)Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These(B) people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
(C)Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
