Colossians 2:20-23 If then ye have been dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye dogmatically taught,

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ If then ye have been dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye dogmatically taught, ²¹ eat not, nor talk, nor touch, ²² (all which things tend to corruption by abuse) according to the injunctions and doctrines of men? ²³ Which things indeed hold forth an appearance of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and bodily mortification, [though] not of any value, [but] a gratification to the flesh.
