NASB | Colossians 2:8 ¶ See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 2:8 ¶ See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble], according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men, following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth--the teachings of] Christ. |

Bible Note: I read through Lev 18 and was struck by verse 25. 'For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants.' Might there be an admonition here for people to consider before "approving" what God says is defiling? I'm thinking about this in conjunction with America's responsibility in November. |
