LEB(i)
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not merely human, but powerful to God for the tearing down of fortresses, tearing down arguments
5 and all pride that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
6 And ⌊we are ready⌋* to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is completed.
7 You are looking at things according to appearance. If anyone is convinced he himself is Christ's, he should consider this concerning himself again: that just as Christ himself is, so also are we.
8 For even if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us ⌊for building you up and not for tearing you down⌋*, I will not be put to shame,
9 so that I do not want to appear as if I were terrifying you by my letters,
10 because it is said, "His letters are severe and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak and his speech is of no account."
