Colossians 2:21-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
21Do 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? 23These 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
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
21"Don't handle, don't taste, don't touch"? 22All these regulations refer to what is destined to perish by being used up; they are human commands and doctrines. 23Although 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
21Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!'? 22Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. 23These 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? 23These 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
