11. in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
12. having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13. And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he quicken together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;
14. having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
15. having put off from himself the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:
17. which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.
18. Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19. and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God.
20. If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances,
21. Handle not, nor taste, nor touch
22. (all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?
