2 Corinthians 10:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
1
Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!
2
I ask that when I am present I
need
not be bold with the confidence with which I intend to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle according to the flesh,
4
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
5
We are
destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and
we are
taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,
King James Version
Chapter 10
1
Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
2
But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
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 behaving 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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
1
Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ — though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away.
2
Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won’t have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives.
3
We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.
4
We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
5
We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
1
I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ — I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away! —
2
I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh.
3
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.
4
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
5
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
New International Version
Chapter 10
1
By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am "timid" when face to face with you, but "bold" toward you when away!
2
I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world.
3
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
New King James Version
Chapter 10
1
Now I, Paul, myself
am
pleading with
you
by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
2
But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
4
For the weapons of our warfare
are
not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
