Colossians 2:20-22
New English Translation
20 If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits[a] of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world? 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!” 22 These are all destined to perish with use, founded as they are[b] on human commands and teachings.[c]
