Colossians 2:8 ESV/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| English Standard Version (ESV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. | 8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. |
