New American Standard Bible 1995
21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” 22 (which all refer (A)to things destined to perish [a]with use)—in accordance with the (B)commandments and teachings of men? 23 These are matters which have, to be sure, the [b]appearance of wisdom in [c](C)self-made religion and self-abasement and (D)severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against (E)fleshly indulgence.

Colossians 2:21-23
New International Version
21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish(A) with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.(B) 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility(C) and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
