Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.

这都是照人所吩咐、所教导的。说到这一切，正用的时候就都败坏了。

这些都是根据人的命令和教导，论到这一切都是一经使用就都败坏了。

这些都是根据人的命令和教导，论到这一切都是一经使用就都败坏了。

这些规条不过是人的戒律和说教，经不起实践的考验，

（这一切东西，一经使用，就都朽坏了。）这些规条是照着人的命令和教训而定的，

这些东西都是一经使用就要衰朽的，是出于人的规条和教义；

這都是照人所吩咐、所教導的。說到這一切，正用的時候就都敗壞了。

這些規條不過是人的戒律和說教，經不起實踐的考驗，

（這一切東西，一經使用，就都朽壞了。）這些規條是照著人的命令和教訓而定的，

（而規例中所指的又都是以沿用而至於敗壞的東西）隨着人的誡律和教條呢？

是皆依人所命所教、用之必敗、

第人所傳之教、習之必敗、

此皆按人所命所教而禁之物、用之之時、皆必敗壞、

寧不知萬物終歸朽腐、正備人之一用乎。

These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.

Rules like these are about things that will pass away soon. They are based on merely human rules and teachings.

( referring to things that all perish as they are used)— according to human precepts and teachings?

All these regulations refer to what is destined to perish by being used up; they are human commands and doctrines.

( which all refer to things destined to perish with use)— in accordance with the commandments and teachings of man?

which all concern things which perish with the using— according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

( all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?

All these regulations refer to what is destroyed by being used up; they are commands and doctrines of men.

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

( all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?

And so the Lord says,“ These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man made rules learned by rote.

They must stop listening to Jewish myths and the commands of people who have turned away from the truth.

Their worship is a farce, for they teach man made ideas as commands from God.’For you ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition.”Then he said,“ You skillfully sidestep God’s law in order to hold on to your own tradition.For instance, Moses gave you this law from God:‘ Honor your father and mother,’ and‘ Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents,‘ Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents.And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.”

You say,“ Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food.”( This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can’t say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies.

Jesus replied,“ And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?For instance, God says,‘ Honor your father and mother,’ and‘ Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents,‘ Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents. And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition.You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote,‘ These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.Their worship is a farce, for they teach man made ideas as commands from God.’”

He will have no respect for the gods of his ancestors, or for the god loved by women, or for any other god, for he will boast that he is greater than them all.

But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.”

In that day the deaf will hear words read from a book, and the blind will see through the gloom and darkness.

“ Don’t you understand either?” he asked.“ Can’t you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you?Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.”( By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)

And this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world.”
