Colossians 2:18

Beware Of Requirements Invented By Humans

¹⁷ These things are only the shadow of what is to come; the substance is in the Christ. ¹⁸ Do not let any one defraud you of the reality by affecting delight in so-called 'humility' and angel-worship. Such a man busies himself with his visions, and without reason is rendered conceited by his merely human intellect. ¹⁹ He fails to maintain union with the Head, to whom it is due that the whole body, nourished and knit together by the contact and Keynesian of every part, grows with a divine growth.
