Colossians 2:20 in Context — Colossians 2
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.
20 Pues si sois muertos con Cristo cuanto á los rudimentos del mundo, ¿por qué como si vivieseis al mundo, os sometéis á ordenanzas,
21 [Tales como], No manejes, ni gustes, ni aun toques,
22 (Las cuales cosas son todas para destrucción en el uso [mismo]), en conformidad á mandamientos y doctrinas de hombres?
