Colossians 2:21

Bible in Basic English 1965

Which say there may be no touching, tasting, or taking in your hands,

See the chapter Copy

But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.

Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.

For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders

Rules which are all to come to an end with their use after the orders and teaching of men?

Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.
