4 for the weapons I use are not earthly ones, but divinely strong for destroying fortresses.
5 I destroy arguments and every obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God, and I take captive every thought and make it obey Christ,

10 For they say, "His letters are impressive and telling, but his personal appearance is insignificant and as a speaker he amounts to nothing."
