Colossians 2:20-23 If you died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances:

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ If you died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances: ²¹ »Do not handle. Do not taste. Do not touch.« ²² These are the precepts and doctrines of men. ²³ These have, indeed, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body. But these are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
