Colossians 2:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Warnings against False Teachers

²⁰ If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe,^[a] why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations, ²¹ “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch”? ²² All these regulations refer to things that perish with use; they are simply human commands and teachings.
