         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of συλαγωγέω ‘to carry off as booty or as captive in war,’ not occurring in the NT) to take over complete control of a person as one would a captive

         Glosses: ['to control completely', 'to take control of', 'to make a captive of']

         Comments: In some languages it is possible to preserve the figurative meaning of συλαγωγέω in {S:05100200800014} by employing a simile, for example, ‘see that no one makes you a kind of captive by human wisdom’ or ‘see to it that no one uses human wisdom and by this means makes you, so to speak, a captive.’
