Colossians 2:8
Douay-Rheims
Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy, and vain deceit; according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ:
Francis Patrick Kenrick
This is an hendyadis equivalent to " the vain deceit of philosophy." Its high pretensions were vain and illusory.
