Let no one say, being tempted — `From God I am tempted – ASLAN International Ministry

James 1:13-1813 Let no one say, being tempted — `From God I am tempted,’ for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,14 and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,15 afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.16 Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;17 every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;18 having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking – ASLAN International Ministry

Colossians 2:16-2316 Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths,17 which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body [is] of the Christ;18 let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and [in] worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,19 and not holding the head, from which all the body — through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together — may increase with the increase of God.20 If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances?21 — thou mayest not touch, nor taste, nor handle –22 which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,23 which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body — not in any honour, unto a satisfying of the flesh.
