Colossians 2:8. Beware lest any man spoil you
(plunder you, it might be rendered,)
Colossians 2:8. through philosophy and vein deceit,
"Beware of those who pretend that they are going to enrich you, but whose real object is to plunder you. They say that they will give you advanced thought, deeper ideas, a system more congruous with the age; but it is" -
Colossians 2:8. After the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
"What do you want with their traditions? Christ has revealed his truth to you. What do you want with the world’s rudiments? You have gone beyond such elementary, useless knowledge as that, for you have got the truth itself."
