Colossians 2:18-23

New King James Version

¹⁸ Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has ^[a]not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, ¹⁹ and not holding fast to ^(A)the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, ^(B)grows with the increase that is from God.

^20 [b]Therefore, if you ^(C)died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, ^(D)why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— ^21 (E)“Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” ²² which all concern things which perish with the using—^(F)according to the commandments and doctrines of men? ^23 (G)These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and ^[c]neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
