Colossians 2:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ They are not united with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, achieves the growth that comes from God.

²⁰ Since you died with Christ to the elemental principles of this world, why are you living in the world as if you were subject to it? ²¹ “Do not handle!” “Do not taste!” “Do not touch!”
