¹ Now I Paul my selfe beseech you, by the meekenes and gentlenesse 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 bee bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I thinke to be bold against some, which thinke of vs as if wee walked according to the flesh.

³ For though we walke in the flesh, we doe not warre after the flesh:

⁴ (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling downe of strong holds.)

⁵ Casting down imaginations, and euery high thing that exalteth it selfe against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ:

⁶ And hauing in a readinesse to reuenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

⁷ Doe ye looke on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himselfe, that he is Christs, let him of himselfe thinke this againe, that as he is Christs, euen so are we Christs.

⁸ For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority (which the Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction) I should not be ashamed:

⁹ That I may not seeme as if I would terrifie you by letters.

¹⁰ For his letters (say they) are waighty and powerfull, but his bodily presence is weake, and his speach contemptible.

¹¹ Let such a one thinke this: that such as we are in word by letters, when we are absent, such will we be also in deede when we are present.

¹² For we dare not make our selues of the number, or compare our selues with some that commend themselues: but they measuring themselues by themselues, and comparing themselues amongst themselues, are not wise.

¹³ But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule, which God hath distributed to vs, a measure to reach euen vnto you.

¹⁴ For we stretch not our selues beyond our measure as though wee reached not vnto you, for wee are come as farre as to you also, in preaching the Gospel of Christ.

¹⁵ Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other mens labours, but hauing hope, when your faith is increased, that wee shall bee enlarged by you, according to our rule abundantly.

¹⁶ To preach the Gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another mans line of things made ready to our hand.

¹⁷ But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

¹⁸ For, not he that commendeth himselfe is approued, but whom the Lord commendeth.

THE SCIPTURE TALKS ABOUT THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT BEING THE WORD. IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT WRESTLING NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES ect WHATEVER IS IN YOUR LIFE AND KEEPING YOU HELD DOWN IS NOT OF GOD. SPEAK HIS WORD

Lloyd \"Elgin\"'s 2 Corinthians Chapter 10 comment on 5/14/2013, 8:48am...

V. 5 - is a powerful passage relating to the mind. It is there all things are conceived. It is the beginning of thoughts. What we imagine ourselves to be, we eventually become. Paul's suggestion is that we forcefully 'slam' down every imagination, and everytghing that exalts itself against everthing that is Godly and righteous, and bring all thoughts under subjection to God's will. There is so much in that passage. It really 'blows' the mind. Thanks for the opportunity to give an expression.

R. D. Mattock's 2 Corinthians Chapter 10 comment on 3/22/2013, 11:36am...

To walk in the Spirit (verses 2 and 3) means to be under control of the Spirit, to walk in the flesh means to be under control of the flesh. Every Christian has within him to opposing powers; the flesh and the spirit. There is a warfare going on between them. The Holy Spirit wants us to do God’s will and the flesh wants to please itself. 1 Galatians 6:8 “He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.” How can we overcome the flesh? Galatians 5:16 “Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”

Found it to be the only effective way of dealing with thoughts from the devil that bind us or wrong thinking patterns.

It opened my eyes on how to pray for my very intelligent son who does not believe in God or the saving power and grace of Jesus Christ. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

DZARMA EZRA's 2 Corinthians Chapter 10 comment about verse 5 on 1/02/2013, 8:54am...

God has given his children mandate to enforce his will on earth through earnest prayer. Let us confront the forces of evil and enforce the counsel of the Lord on earth. MARANATHA.

God has given his children the mandate to enforce his will here on earth through prayer.

Sue's 2 Corinthians Chapter 10 comment about verse 4 on 12/04/2012, 7:33pm...

The devil, his demons and the weapons he uses to attack us, cannot be fought physically. When we pray, God gives His personal power to his angels and the holy spirit and Jesus Christ, in addition to Christ’s blood and God's anointing that destroy yokes. He has permitted his power to come to us, to fight for us. To demolish strongholds, demolish things and people sent to pretend that they are for us, yet sent by the devil to destroy us. The power also destroys and restores the truth of God, subjecting anything that attempts to exalt itself above the knowledge and Word of God. That is why we have to always believe in God that he has our best interest and will fight for us. He says no weapon formed against us will prosper. He says even if people and forces, witchcraft and demonic powers gather against us, they that gather, gather in vain. What an honor, What a God. Thank you Lord.
