enslaves you
Paul uses exaggeration when he speaks of someone forcing others to obey rules as if he were forcing them to be slaves. Alternate translation: "makes you follow rules he has thought of" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)
he consumes you
Paul speaks of the super-apostles' taking people's material resources as if they were eating the people themselves. Alternate translation: "he takes all your property" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
takes advantage of you
A person takes advantage of another person by knowing things that the other person does not and using that knowledge to help himself and harm the other person.
