18. Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19. and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God’s growth.
20. If you died with Messiah from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21. “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
22. (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
23. Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
