Colossians 2:16-19
Legacy Standard Bible
16 Therefore, no one is to (A)judge you in (B)food and (C)drink, or in respect to a (D)festival or a (E)new moon or a (F)Sabbath [a]day— 17 things which are only a (G)shadow of what is to come; but the [b]substance [c]belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one keep [d](H)defrauding you of your prize by (I)delighting in [e]self-abasement and the worship of the angels, going into detail about visions he has seen, (J)being puffed up for nothing by his (K)fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to (L)the head, from whom (M)the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and [f]ligaments, grows with a growth [g]that is from God.

Let No One Disqualify You
16 Therefore let no one (A)pass judgment on you (B)in questions of food and drink, or with regard to (C)a festival or (D)a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 (E)These are a shadow of the things to come, but (F)the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one (G)disqualify you, (H)insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, (I)going on in detail about visions,[a] (J)puffed up without reason by (K)his sensuous mind, 19 and (L)not (M)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.
