Colossians 2:22

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

Which {G3739} all {G3956} are {G2076} to {G1519} perish {G5356} with the using {G671};) after {G2596} the commandments {G1778} and {G2532} doctrines {G1319} of men {G444}?

Such prohibitions are concerned with things meant to perish by being used [not by being avoided!], and they are based on man-made rules and teachings.

These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.

(all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?
