*
Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath .
*
These are only a shadow of what is to come ;
but the substance belongs to Christ .
*
Let no one disqualify you ,
insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels ,
taking his stand on visions ,
puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind ,
*
and not holding fast to the Head ,
from whom the whole body ,
nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments ,
grows with a growth that is from God .
*
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 ,
* "
Do not handle ,
Do not taste ,
Do not touch "
* (
referring to things which all perish as they are used ),
according to human precepts and doctrines ?
