Colossians 2:23

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
World English Bible (WEB)
Which things{G3748} have{G2192}{(G5723)} indeed{G3303} a shew{G2076}{(G5748)}{G3056} of wisdom{G4678} in{G1722} will worship{G1479}, and{G2532} humility{G5012}, and{G2532} neglecting{G857} of the body{G4983}; not{G3756} in{G1722} any{G5100} honour{G5092} to{G4314} the satisfying{G4140} of the flesh{G4561}.
Strong's King James
(23) This word becomes, as surely having wisdom but in would be religion, false humility and unsparing treatment of the body! And in value, nothing, to no one, against fleshly infilling indulgence.
The F.O.G*
[23] These rules may seem wise with their forced worship, false humility, and harsh treatment of the body - but they have no power to conquer the sinful nature.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
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.
Young's Literal Translation
