Colossians 2:18

Beware Of Requirements Invented By Humans

¹⁷ for these were only the shadows of future things, prefiguring Christ, who is the substance. ¹⁸ Let no man condemn you, from an affectation of humility, in worshipping of Angels, boldly prying into matters which he knows nothing of, being vainly puft up with his Jewish conceits: ¹⁹ not adhering to the head, from which all the parts of the body derive its nutrition, and being firmly united together by its joints and ligaments, receives a divine increase.
