The Armor of God

¹⁰Finally, ^(A)be strong in the Lord and in ^(B)the strength of His might. ¹¹^(C)Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the ^(D)schemes of the devil. ¹²For our ^(E)struggle is not against ^[a]^(F)flesh and blood, but ^(G)against the rulers, against the powers, against the ^(H)world forces of this ^(I)darkness, against the ^(J)spiritual forces of wickedness in ^(K)the heavenly places. ¹³Therefore, take up ^(L)the full armor of God, so that you will be able to ^(M)resist on ^(N)the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

Paul Confronts the Corinthians

10 Now ^(A)I, Paul, myself ^(B)urge you by the ^(C)meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who ^(D)am ^[a]meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent! ²I ask that ^(E)when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I intend to be courageous against ^(F)some, who regard us as if we walked ^(G)according to the flesh. ³For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle ^(H)according to the flesh, ⁴for the ^(I)weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but ^[b]divinely powerful ^(J)for the destruction of fortresses. ⁵We are destroying arguments and all ^(K)arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the ^(L)obedience of Christ, ⁶and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever ^(M)your obedience is complete.
