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.

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:

Take care there is not some one who will carry you away by his ‘philosophy’ — a hollow sham! — following, as it does, mere human traditions, and dealing with puerile questions of this world, and not with Christ.

Sehet zu, daß nicht jemand sei, der euch als Beute wegführe durch die Philosophie und durch eitlen Betrug, nach der Überlieferung der Menschen, nach den Elementen der Welt, und nicht nach Christo.

Mirad que ninguno os engañe por filosofías y vanas sutilezas, según las tradiciones de los hombres, conforme á los elementos del mundo, y no según Cristo:

Cuidado que ninguém vos tome cativos por meio de filosofias e de enganos vãos, conforme a tradição humana, conforme os elementos do mundo, e não conforme Cristo.

Cuidai para que ninguém vos escravize com filosofias e vãs sutilezas, de acordo com a tradição dos homens, conforme os rudimentos do mundo, e não segundo Cristo;
