^3 (A)Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our ^(B)common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you ^(C)contend earnestly for ^(D)the faith that was once for all time ^(E)handed down to ^(F)the ^[a]saints.

³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle ^(A)according to the flesh, ⁴ for the ^(B)weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but ^[a]divinely powerful ^(C)for the destruction of fortresses. ⁵ We are destroying arguments and all ^(D)arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the ^(E)obedience of Christ,
