Bible verse
“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?
Colossians 2:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Colossians 2.
17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.
18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.
19 He has lost connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow.
20 If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:
21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?
22 These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
23 Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
