"For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel "
— 2 Corinthians 10:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)”
“(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds); ”
“for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,”
“for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments”
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty to God, unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels,”
“(For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);”
“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)”
But I myself, Paul, am begging you, through the meekness and modesty of Christ. I am certainly, by appearances, lowly among you, yet I have confidence in you, even while I am absent.
So I am petitioning you, lest I be bold, when present, with that bold confidence that I am considered to have by certain ones who judge us as if we were walking according to the flesh.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh.
For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel
and height that extols itself contrary to the wisdom of God, and leading every intellect into the captivity of obedience to Christ,
and standing ready to repudiate every disobedience, when your own obedience has been fulfilled.
Consider the things that are in accord with appearances. If anyone trusts that by these things he belongs to Christ, let him reconsider this within himself. For just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.
