Colossians 2:19-23 And not holding fast the head: from which, all the body, through means of its joints and uniting bands, receiving supply, and connecting itself together, groweth with the growth of God.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ And not holding fast the head: from which, all the body, through means of its joints and uniting bands, receiving supply, and connecting itself together, groweth with the growth of God. ²⁰ If ye have died, together with Christ, from the first principles of the world, why, as though alive in the world, are ye submitting to decrees,–– ²¹ Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch; –– ²² Which things are all for decay in the using up; ––according to the commandments and teachings of men? ²³ The which things, indeed, though they have, an appearance, of wisdom, in self–devised religious observance, and lowliness of mind, [and] ill–treatment of body, are, in no honourable way, unto a satisfying of the flesh.
