Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Let{G2603} no man{G3367} beguile{G2603} you{G5209} of your reward{G2603}{(G5720)} in{G1722} a voluntary{G2309}{(G5723)} humility{G5012} and{G2532} worshipping{G2356} of angels{G32}, intruding into{G1687}{(G5723)} those things which{G3739} he hath{G3708} not{G3361} seen{G3708}{(G5758)}, vainly{G1500} puffed up{G5448}{(G5746)} by{G5259} his{G846} fleshly{G4561} mind{G3563},
KJV with Strongs
(18) Let nobody keep condemning your rulership by delighting in false humility and worshipping messenger angels by going into details about what he's seen and puffed up without purpose by his fleshly mind.
The F.O.G
[18] Don't let anyone disqualify you from the prize by insisting on fake humility and angel worship. Such people claim to have special visions, but their sinful minds have inflated them with empty pride.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and in worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
