Colossians 2:20-23

20 If with Christ ^hyou died to the ⁱelemental spirits of the world, ^jwhy, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 ^k“Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 ( ^lreferring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to ^mhuman precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in ⁿpromoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are ^oof no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

Hebrews 13:9

9 Do not be ^pled away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, ^qnot by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.
