Col. 2:20      Col. 2:22

Colossians 2:21

[It is said:]
“Don't handle it (don't concern yourself with it)!”
“Don't taste it!”
“Don't even touch it!”
[These three verbs provide an increasing restriction, culminating in not even touching a certain kind of food or meat, which the prohibitions probably referred to, see verse 16. These may have been well-known phrases used by certain groups. Paul often quoted false teachers, see e.g. 1 Cor. 7:1; 10:23.]
