Colossians 2:17 Context
15And hauing spoyled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing ouer them in it. 16Let no man therefore iudge you in meat, or in drinke, or in respect of an Holy day, or of the New moone, or of the Sabbath dayes: 17Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ. 18Let no man beguile you of your reward, in a voluntary humilitie, and worshipping of Angels, intruding into those things which hee hath not seene, vainely puft vp by his fleshly minde: 19And not holding the head, from which all the body by ioynts and bands hauing nourishment ministred, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
