Colossians 2:17 in Context — Colossians 2

15 [Y] despojando los principados y las potestades, sacólos á la vergüenza en público, triunfando de ellos en sí mismo.

16 Por tanto, nadie os juzgue en comida, ó en bebida, ó en parte de día de fiesta, ó de nueva luna, ó de sábados:

17 Lo cual es la sombra de lo por venir; mas el cuerpo es de Cristo.

18 Nadie os prive de vuestro premio, afectando humildad y culto á los ángeles, metiéndose en lo que no ha visto, vanamente hinchado en el sentido de su propia carne,

19 Y no teniendo la cabeza, de la cual todo el cuerpo, alimentado y conjunto por las ligaduras y conjunturas, crece en aumento de Dios.
