NASB | Colossians 2:16 ¶ Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 2:16 ¶ Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food and drink or in regard to [the observance of] a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day. |
Subject: Sabbath laws....do? or don't? |
Bible Note: "In Colossians 2:16-17, Paul explicitly refers to the Sabbath as a shadow of Christ, which is no longer binding since the substance (Christ) has come." Grammatically speaking Paul is not contrasting shadow with body as is commonly assumed; what he is doing is saying "let no man judge ... but the body of Christ" (i.e., the church is to decide these matters). |
