Apostol § 255

Colossians 2:13–20

Brethren, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the Cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public show of them, triumphing over them in it. Therefore let no man judge you in meat, or in drink, or in regard to a holy day, or the new moon, or of the Sabbath days, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from which all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase of God...
