Colossians 2:22-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
22 Things which[a] are all for[b] perishing[c] in the use[d]!) according-to the commandments and teachings of humans?— 23 which are indeed having the talk[e] of wisdom in-connection-with will-worship[f] and humility[g] and harsh-treatment[h] of the body, not[i] in-connection-with any [real] value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Colossians 2:22-23
New International Version
22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish(A) with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.(B) 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility(C) and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
