katabrabeuo describes someone being disqualified, as a warning addressed to believers in Colossians 2:18.

Senses in use

  1. Disqualifying those addressed · dominant

    In Colossians 2:18, the present active third-person singular form stands in the warning, “Let no one disqualify you.” The APB places this action alongside false humility, the worship of angels, investigation of what has been seen, and being puffed up by a fleshly mind.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Colossians 2:18, the APB renders the warning “Let no one disqualify you.” Its wording confirms the clause’s overall force rather than isolating every feature of the Greek form.
