16 Let no man therefore create a disturbance among you about eating and drinking, or about the division of the feast days, the beginning of the months and the day of the sabbath: 17 These are shadows of things to come; but the main objective is Christ. 18 Let no man, by pretense of sincerity, doom you, so that you worship angels; for he is bold about the things he has not seen, and foolishly he is proud of his intellectual powers. 19 That very person does not uphold the Head by which the whole body is constructed and stands with the joints and members; and grows through the discipline of God. 20 Therefore, if you have died with Christ and are apart from the principles of the world why then should you be doomed as though living in the world? 21 Do not touch; do not taste; do not follow; 22 For these things are customs which are changeable and they are the commandments and doctrines of men. 23 And it appears there is some word of wisdom in these things when presented by the humble person in fear of God; provided they disregard the things of the flesh, not those things which are honourable but only those things which satisfy the pleasure of the flesh.
