Colossians 2:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 When He had [a](A)disarmed the (B)rulers and authorities, He (C)made a public display of them, having (D)triumphed over them through [b]Him.
16 Therefore, no one is to [c](E)act as your judge in regard to (F)food and (G)drink, or in respect to a (H)festival or a (I)new moon, or a (J)Sabbath [d]day— 17 things which are only a (K)shadow of what is to come; but the [e]substance [f]belongs to Christ.
