Thematic Bible



having abolished in His flesh the enmity (the Law of commandments contained in ordinances) so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, making peace between them;

blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.

And coming from the market, they do not eat without immersing, and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dippings of cups and pots, and of copper vessels, and of tables.

Now therefore why do you tempt God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples, a yoke which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?


If then you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to its ordinances:

which stood only in meats and drinks, and different kinds of washings and fleshly ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
