For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We
are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and
we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your
obedience is complete.
- 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
What the heck is this passage talking about? Well, let's break it down:
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh . . " In other words, even though we live in this world we shouldn't fight against it.
" . . . for the weapons of our warfare are not of flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses." In other words, instead of using this world's mentality we should use God's power which is amazingly powerful.
"We
are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God," In other words, we can win against sin.
"and
we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ," In other words, we remember
everything that happens to us and we should take it to God.
"and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your
obedience is complete." In other words, we are prepared to defeat the enemy. Are you?
Maybe the
interpretation is wrong, but that's what I think it means. If you got something else from reading this verse please comment. :)
