Colossians 2:21-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
21
Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!'
22
(which all
refer to
things destined to perish with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of man?
23
These are matters which do have the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and humility and severe treatment of the body,
but are
of no value against fleshly indulgence.
King James Version
Chapter 2
21
Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22
Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
21
"Don’t handle, don’t taste, don’t touch"?
22
All these regulations refer to what is destined to perish by being used up; they are human commands and doctrines.
23
Although these have a reputation for wisdom by promoting self-made religion, false humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are not of any value in curbing self-indulgence.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
21
Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!'?
22
Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.
23
These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
21
"Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch"
22
(referring to things that all perish as they are used) — according to human precepts and teachings?
23
These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
New International Version
Chapter 2
21
"Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"?
22
These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.
23
Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
21
“Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,”
22
which all concern things which perish with the using— according to the commandments and doctrines of men?
23
These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion,
false
humility, and neglect of the body,
but are
of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
