Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Beware {G991} lest {G3361} any man {G5100} spoil {G2071}{G4812} you {G5209} through {G1223} philosophy {G5385} and {G2532} vain {G2756} deceit {G539}, after {G2596} the tradition {G3862} of men {G444}, after {G2596} the rudiments {G4747} of the world {G2889}, and {G2532} not {G3756} after {G2596} Christ {G5547}.
Watch out, so that no one will take you captive by means of philosophy and empty deceit, following human tradition which accords with the elemental spirits of the world but does not accord with the Messiah.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.
Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:
