John Wesley's Notes
Therefore - The inference begun, Colossians 2:16; is continued. A new inference follows, Colossians 3:1. If ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world - That is, If ye are dead with Christ, and so freed from them, why receive ye ordinances - Which Christ hath not enjoined, from which he hath made you free.
