2 Corinthians 10:4

Context
10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, 1  but are made powerful by God 2  for tearing down strongholds. 3  We tear down arguments 4 

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

2 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.”

3 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.

4 tn Or “speculations.”
