Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any value to the indulgence of the flesh.
All Commentaries on Colossians 2:23 Go To Colossians 2
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Which things have indeed, (as such masters teach you) a show of wisdom, in their nice superstitious ways, joined by some of them with extraordinary abstinences, and severities practised on the body in fasting, which they observe, without any honour or regard, even not to the satiating of the flesh; i.e. according to the common expression, with such an excess, as not to allow the body Ver. 18. Volens, thelon; religione, threskeia.
Walking, ambulans, embateuon, superbè se ingerens. Ver. 23. Et non ad parcendum corpori, kai apheidia somatos, et in non parcentia corporis, vel in crudelitate erga corpus.
Non in honore ad saturitatem, ouk en time pros plesmonen.
