COL 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of
your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all
trespasses;
COL 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against

COL 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew
of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
COL 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in
respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
