SCRIPTURE

"which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ`s. Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind," — Colossians 2:17-18 (ASV)

But the body is of Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,

Do not be beguiled by those who tell you that you ought to pay reverence to angels, and saints, and I do not know what else. One day is called St. Matthew's, and another is St. Michael's, and one, I suppose, is St. Judas's day; there are all sorts of supposed saints, some of whom are never mentioned in the Bible, and about whom nobody ought to care at all: Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,
