If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:
21 not to touch nor to taste nor to touch
“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?
22 which to be all toward corruption the/this/who using up according to the/this/who precept and teaching the/this/who a human
