Colossians 2:20-23

20If with Christ ayou died to the belemental spirits of the world, cwhy, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations 21 d“Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch 22( ereferring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to fhuman precepts and teachings? 23These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in gpromoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are hof no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
