2 Corinthians 10:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ We fight with weapons that are ·different from those the world uses [not merely human weapons; ^Lnot of the flesh]. Our weapons have power from God that can destroy ·the enemy’s strong places [^Lstrongholds; fortresses]. We destroy ·people’s arguments [human reasoning; sophistries] ⁵ and every ·proud thing [pretension; exalted opinion; ^Lhigh thing] that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We capture every thought and make it obey Christ. ⁶ We are ready to ·punish [avenge] ·anyone there who does not obey [^Levery disobedience], ·but first we want you to obey fully [^Lonce/after your obedience is fulfilled; ^Conce the church as a whole repents, Paul will discipline those who refuse].
