Colossians 2:21 in Context — Colossians 2

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?

23 Tales cosas tienen á la verdad cierta reputación de sabiduría en culto voluntario, y humildad, y en duro trato del cuerpo; no en alguna honra para el saciar de la carne.
