NET Bible
"He has not held fast to the head from whom the whole body, supported and knit together through its ligaments and sinews, grows with a growth that is from God."
— Colossians 2:19, NET Bible
“And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.”
“and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God. ”
“and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth.”
“And not holding the head, from which the whole body, by joints and bands, being supplied with nourishment and compacted, groweth into the increase of God.”
“And 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.”
“And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.”
Therefore do not let anyone judge you with respect to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, new moon, or Sabbath days–
these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Christ!
Let no one who delights in false humility and the worship of angels pass judgment on you. That person goes on at great lengths about what he has supposedly seen, but he is puffed up with empty notions by his fleshly mind.
He has not held fast to the head from whom the whole body, supported and knit together through its ligaments and sinews, grows with a growth that is from God.
If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world?
“Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”
These are all destined to perish with use, founded as they are on human commands and teachings.
