Greek-English Concordance for ἐθελοθρησκία

Colossians 2:23 Such regulations indeed have the appearance of wisdom with their self-imposed religious piety (ethelothrēskia | ἐθελοθρησκίᾳ | dat sg fem), false humility, and harsh control over the body, but they actually lead to the gratification of the flesh.
