Colossians 2:20 in context

  1. 18Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
  2. 19and 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.
  3. 20If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
  4. 21“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
  5. 22(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
