Colossians 2:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ Some people still follow the basic spiritual powers of the world. But you died with Christ as far as these powers are concerned. So why do you act as if you still belong to the world? Here are the rules you follow. ²¹ “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!” ²² Rules like these are about things that will pass away soon. They are based on merely human rules and teachings.
