Colossians 2:8 meaning and explanation
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.

Explanation preview
Paul is writing to a church he has not visited, warning them about teachers who were pressing extra rules and mystical practices on them. The Greek word here for "takes you captive" is sylagogon, from the verb meaning to carry off as plunder.
