Colossians 2:20-3:3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ If then you be dead with Christ from the elements of this world, why do you yet decree as though living in the world?

²¹ Touch not, taste not, handle not:

²² Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the precepts and doctrines of men.

²³ Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of the flesh.

3 Therefore, if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above; where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God:

² Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.

³ For you are dead; and your life is hid with Christ in God.
