Colossians 2:20-22

Context

2:20 If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits 1  of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world? 2:21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!” 2:22 These are all destined to perish with use, founded as they are 2  on human commands and teachings. 3 

1 tn See the note on the phrase “elemental spirits” in 2:8.

2 tn The expression “founded as they are” brings out the force of the Greek preposition κατά (kata).

3 tn Grk “The commands and teachings of men.”
