21.12. 2 Kor 10:3-5

2 Kor 10:3-5 3 Vaikka elämmekin lihassa, emme kuitenkaan sodi lihan mukaan,

4 sillä meidän sota­aseemme eivät ole lihallisia, vaan ne ovat voimallisia Jumalan avulla kukistamaan linnoituksia. Me hajotamme maahan järjen päätelmät  Jer. 1:10; Ef. 6:13; 1. Tim. 1:18 5.

5 ja jokaisen varustuksen, joka nostetaan Jumalan tuntemista vastaan. Me vangitsemme jokaisen ajatuksen kuuliaiseksi Kristukselle   Matt. 15:13; 1. Kor. 1:19

2 Corinthians 10:3-5New International Version (NIV)

³ For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

⁴ The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

⁵ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

³ For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons.

⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,

⁵ [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),

2 Corinthians 10:3-5Amplified Bible (AMP)

³ For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. ⁴ The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. ⁵ We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ,
