2 Corinthians 10:1-5 ▼

1 I who am a person of a mean presence, when among you, but exert myself upon your account, when absent; I Paul intreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, not to let me exert that authority,

2 when I am present, which I think to exercise against some, who censure me, as if I was actuated by worldly views.

3 for tho' I am involv'd with the world, I don't sustain the war with their poor arts:

4 our military arms are not so defective, but divinely effectual to demolish all their ramparts;

5 to level all the barriers they contrive for obstructing the divine doctrine, and to make their pride captive to the authority of Christ.
