Colossians 2:15-17
Worldwide English (New Testament)
15 He won the victory over powers and rulers. He showed that they had no power at all. He showed the world his victory through the cross.
16 So do not let anyone say you are wrong about what you eat or drink, or about a feast, or a special holy day or a Sabbath day.
17 They are like a shadow of what is to come. But Christ is the body that makes the shadow.
