Daily Reading for Personal Growth, 40 Days with God
Let No One Judge Your Behavior By False Standards
16 Therefore let no one judge you in eating and in drinking, or in respect to a feast or new-moon or Sabbath, 17 which are a shadow of the coming things, but the body[a] is Christ’s. 18 Let no one decide-against you while delighting[b] in humility[c] and worship of [d] angels, dwelling-upon[e] things which he has seen, being puffed-up in-vain by the mind of [f] his flesh, 19 and not holding-on-to[g] the head— from Whom the whole body, being supplied[h] and held-together by the joints and ligaments, is growing the growth of [i] God.
Since You Died With Christ, Do Not Submit To Human Decrees
20 If you died with Christ from[j] the elemental[k] things of the world, why, as-though living in the world, do you submit-to-decrees (21 “Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”; 22 Things which[l] are all for[m] perishing[n] in the use[o]!) according-to the commandments and teachings of humans?— 23 which are indeed having the talk[p] of wisdom in-connection-with will-worship[q] and humility[r] and harsh-treatment[s] of the body, not[t] in-connection-with any [real] value against the indulgence of the flesh.
