2 Corinthians 10:3-4

Context
10:3 For though we live 1  as human beings, 2  we do not wage war according to human standards, 3  10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, 4  but are made powerful by God 5  for tearing down strongholds. 6  We tear down arguments 7 

2 Corinthians 10:10

Context
10:10 because some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weak 8  and his speech is of no account.” 9 

1 tn Grk “we walk.”

2 tn Grk “in the flesh.”

3 tn Grk “according to the flesh.”

4 tn Grk “are not fleshly [weapons].” The repetition of the word “warfare” does not occur in the Greek text, but is supplied for clarity.

5 tn Or “but (are) divinely powerful,” “but they have divine power,” or “but are powerful for God’s [service]”; Grk “but are powerful to God.”

6 sn Ultimately Paul is referring here to the false arguments of his opponents, calling them figuratively “strongholds.” This Greek word (ὀχύρωμα, ocurwma) is used only here in the NT.

7 tn Or “speculations.”

8 tn Or “unimpressive.”

9 tn Or “is contemptible”; Grk “is despised.”
