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; |
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. |
