20 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 21 Which say there may be no touching, tasting, or taking in your hands, 22 I Rules which are all to come to an end with their use after the orders and teaching of men? 23 These things seem to have a sort of wisdom in self-ordered worship and making little of oneself, and being cruel to the body, not honouring it by giving it its natural use.
