2 Corinthians 10:2-6 I implore you not to drive me to "show my boldness," when I do come, by the confident tone which I expect to have to adopt towards some of you, who are expecting to find us influenced in our conduct by earthly motives.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ² I implore you not to drive me to "show my boldness," when I do come, by the confident tone which I expect to have to adopt towards some of you, who are expecting to find us influenced in our conduct by earthly motives. ³ For, though we live an earthly life, we do not wage an earthly war. ⁴ The weapons for our warfare are not earthly, but, under God, are powerful enough to pull down strongholds. ⁵ We are engaged in confuting arguments and pulling down every barrier raised against the knowledge of God. We are taking captive every hostile thought, to bring it into submission to the Christ, ⁶ And are fully prepared to punish every act of rebellion, when once your submission is complete.
