--Colossians-- Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (2:20) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; (2:21) Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? (2:22) Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. (2:23) --1 Timothy-- Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (4:1) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (4:2) Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (4:3) For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (4:4) For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. (4:8) |
