4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

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

4 We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

4 We fight with weapons that are different from those the world uses. Our weapons have power from God that can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments

4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),

4 For the arms of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful according to God to the overthrow of strongholds;

4 The weapons we use in our fight are not made by humans. Rather, they are powerful weapons from God. With them we destroy people’s defenses, that is, their arguments

4 since the weapons of our warfare are not worldly, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments

4 for the weapons of our warfare are not merely human, but they have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments

4 for the weapons of our warfare are not merely human, but powerful to God for the tearing down of fortresses, tearing down arguments

4 The weapons I fight with are not the weapons the world uses. In fact, it is just the opposite. My weapons have the power of God to destroy the camps of the enemy.

4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
