Colossians 2:19-21

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁹ He is not joined to the real head which is Christ. It is from him that the whole body receives strength and is held together by its joints and muscles. It is from him that the body grows as God makes it grow.

²⁰ Did you die with Christ? Then you left the teachings of this world. So why do you obey laws as if you were still living in this world?

²¹ I mean laws like this: "Do not touch that. Do not eat this. Do not put your hand on that."
