Colossians 2:23
Compare all
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?  
23 aThese things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and1 neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Colossians 2:23

Not sparing the body - Denying it many gratifications, and putting it to many inconveniences. Yet they are not of any real value before God, nor do they, upon the whole, mortify, but satisfy, the flesh. They indulge our corrupt nature, our self - will, pride, and desire of being distinguished from others.
