Colossians 2:19-23 and not holding to the Head, from whom the whole body, supplied and held together by joints and bands, grows as God gives it growth.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ and not holding to the Head, from whom the whole body, supplied and held together by joints and bands, grows as God gives it growth. ²⁰ If you died with Christ to the elementary teachings of the world, why do you, as if still living in the world, have such rules as, ²¹ "Do not touch," "Do not taste," "Do not handle" ²² referring to things that perish when used? ²³ These rules follow the commandments and teachings of men. They have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed ceremonial and excessive humility and severity to the body, but have no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
