Freedom from Human Rules and Regulations

Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths,

17

which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body is of the Christ;

18

let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and in worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

19

and not holding the head, from which all the body--through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together--may increase with the increase of God.

20

If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances?

21

--thou mayest not touch, nor taste, nor handle--

22

which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,

23

which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body--not in any honour, unto a satisfying of the flesh.
