Colossians 2:13-22
New King James Version
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 (A)having wiped out the [a]handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 (B)Having disarmed (C)principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
16 So let no one (D)judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a [b]festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 (E)which are a shadow of things to come, but the [c]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 [d]not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to (F)the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, (G)grows with the increase that is from God.
20 [e]Therefore, if you (H)died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, (I)why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 (J)“Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—(K)according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

Colossians 2:13-22
New International Version
13 When you were dead in your sins(A) and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[a] alive(B) with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,(C) 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,(D) which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.(E) 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities,(F) he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them(G) by the cross.[b]
Freedom From Human Rules
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you(H) by what you eat or drink,(I) or with regard to a religious festival,(J) a New Moon celebration(K) or a Sabbath day.(L) 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come;(M) the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility(N) and the worship of angels disqualify you.(O) 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,(P) from whom the whole body,(Q) supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.(R)
20 Since you died with Christ(S) to the elemental spiritual forces of this world,(T) why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:(U) 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(V) with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.(W)
