2 I beg you that when I am present I will not need to be bold with the confidence by which I plan to challenge certain people who think we are living according to the flesh.i 3 For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, 4 since the weapons of our warfarej are not of the flesh, but are powerfulk through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5 and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledgel of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ. 6 And we are ready to punish any disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
