TSK · Colossians 2:20

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh;

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,

Don't be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
