2 Corinthians 10:4

Context
10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, 6  but are made powerful by God 7  for tearing down strongholds. 8  We tear down arguments 9 

1 tn The first clause of 2 Cor 4:10 is elliptical and apparently refers to the fact that Paul was constantly in danger of dying in the same way Jesus died (by violence at least). According to L&N 23.99 it could be translated, “at all times we live in the constant threat of being killed as Jesus was.”

2 tn Or “may also be revealed.”

3 tn Grk “He”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 sn The one who did not know sin is a reference to Jesus Christ.

5 sn That is, “in Christ.”

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

7 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.”

8 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.

9 tn Or “speculations.”
