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.

and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, – ASLAN International Ministry

James 4:6-126 and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?’7 be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you;8 draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled!9 be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness;10 be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you.11 Speak not one against another, brethren; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, doth speak against law, and doth judge law, and if law thou dost judge, thou art not a doer of law but a judge;12 one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; thou — who art thou that dost judge the other?
