Colossians 2:18-23
English Standard Version
18 Let no one (A)disqualify you, (B)insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, (C)going on in detail about visions,[a] (D)puffed up without reason by (E)his sensuous mind, 19 and (F)not (G)holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
20 If with Christ (H)you died to the (I)elemental spirits of the world, (J)why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 (K)“Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 ((L)referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to (M)human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in (N)promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are (O)of no value in stopping 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.
