20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations ---
21 "Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,"
22 which all concern things which perish with the using --- according to the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Colossians 2 explains that these man-made rules concern things that will eventually be used up. Because these rules make us deny the flesh, they appear to be wise. But man-made rules cannot improve our flesh.
