21Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,


In Context

18 Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

19 and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.

20 If ye have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why as if alive in the world do ye subject yourselves to ordinances?

21 Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,

22 (things which are all for destruction in the using of them:) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,

23 (which have indeed an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship, and humility, and harsh treatment of the body, not in a certain honour,) to the satisfaction of the flesh.
