Colossians 2:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Colossians 2:16

14 ^ahaving wiped out the¹ handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

15 ^aHaving disarmed ^bprincipalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

16 So let no one ^ajudge you in food or in drink, or regarding a¹ festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

17 ^awhich are a shadow of things to come, but the¹ substance is of Christ.

18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has¹ not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

19 and not holding fast to ^athe Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, ^bgrows with the increase that is from God.

20 Therefore, if you ^adied with Christ from the basic principles of the world, ^bwhy, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations—

21 ^a“Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,”

22 which all concern things which perish with the using—^aaccording to the commandments and doctrines of men?
