Colossians 2:20-23
Legacy Standard Bible
20 (A)If you have died with Christ [a]to the (B)elementary principles of the world, (C)why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to (D)decrees: 21 “Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”? 22 Which [b]deal with everything (E)destined to perish [c]with use, which are in accordance with the (F)commands and teachings of men; 23 which are matters having, to be sure, a [d]word of wisdom in [e](G)self-made religion and self-abasement and (H)severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against (I)fleshly indulgence.
