Daily Reading for Personal Growth, 40 Days with God

¹⁶ Let no man therefore judge you in meat or drink, or in respect to a holy day or the new moon or the Sabbath days,

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

¹⁸ Let no man beguile you of your reward by feigned humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

¹⁹ and not holding to the Head, from whom all the body, having nourishment ministered and knit together by joints and bands, increaseth with the increase from God.

²⁰ Therefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to its ordinances

²¹ (“Touch not, taste not, handle not,”

²² which all are to perish with the using), according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

²³ These things have indeed a show of wisdom in willworship and humility and neglecting of the body, but are not in any honor against the satisfying of the flesh.
