Nothing there about “mortification” or fasting.

Indeed. I meant 2 Cor 6:4f, sorry.

4 But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distresses, 5 In stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings, 6 In chastity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity unfeigned, 7 In the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left; 8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet known; 9 As dying, and behold we live; as chastised, and not killed; 10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as needy, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

Mentioning fasting, as in 2 Cor 6:4 is not a commandment. Fasting, as I said, can be a good thing. But you still haven’t shown me anything that even hints of a commandment. Much less risking your eternal soul by not doing so.

My translation actually says “hunger” instead of fasting, but the meaning of the passage is the same I think.
