These all refer to things that perish as they are used; they are according to human precepts and teachings — 'Perish as they are used' (aphanizo en tē chresei) shows the rules concern temporal, consumable things. 'Human precepts and teachings' (entolē kai didaskalia anthrōpōn) emphasizes their human origin, not divine. The foods consumed, the rules applied—all are transient. Why submit to temporary human rules as if eternally binding?
