Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐλυτρώθητε
˱you_all˲_/were/_redeemed

ἐκ τῆς ματαίας ὑμῶν ἀναστροφῆς πατροπαραδότου
from the useless ˱of˲_you_all conduct inherited_from_forefathers
Here, handed down refers to one generation teaching futile behavior to another generation, as if that behavior were an object that could be passed by hand from one person to another. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from your futile behavior taught to you by your fathers”

ἐκ τῆς ματαίας ὑμῶν ἀναστροφῆς
from the useless ˱of˲_you_all conduct

πατροπαραδότου
inherited_from_forefathers
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “that your fathers handed down”
