Colossians 2:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ He doesn’t hold on to the head, from whom the whole body,^(A) nourished and held together by its ligaments and tendons, develops with growth from God.

²⁰ If you died with the Messiah^(B) to the elemental forces of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations: ²¹ “Don’t handle, don’t taste, don’t touch”?
