2 Corinthians 10:1-5 ▼

1 Now I, Paul, myself, appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

2 I beg you that when I am present I will not need to be bold with the confidence by which I plan to challenge certain people who think we are living according to the flesh.

3 For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh,

4 since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments

5 and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ.
