Colossians 2:20-22

New Testament for Everyone

Dying and rising with Christ

²⁰ If you died with the Messiah, coming out from the rule of the “worldly elements,” what’s the point of laying down laws as though your life was still merely worldly? ²¹ “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!” ²² Rules like that all have to do with things that disappear as you use them. They are the sort of regulations and teachings that mere humans invent.
