¹⁶ Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a festival day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths,

¹⁷ Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ.

¹⁸ Let no man seduce you, willing in humility, and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh,

¹⁹ And not holding the head, from which the whole body, by joints and bands, being supplied with nourishment and compacted, groweth unto the increase of God.

²¹ Touch not, taste not, handle not:

²² Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the precepts and doctrines of men.

²³ Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of the flesh.
