20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe,* why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations,
21Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch?
22All these regulations refer to things that perish with use; they are simply human commands and teachings.
23These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-imposed piety, humility, and severe treatment of the body, but they are of no value in checking self-indulgence.*
