15Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it.
16For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths:
17For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.
18Let no man take your reward from you by consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind,
19And not joined to the Head, from whom all the body, being given strength and kept together through its joins and bands, has its growth with the increase of God.
20If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders
21Which say there may be no touching, tasting, or taking in your hands,
