2 Corinthians 10:3
_ _ For — Reason why they should regard him “beseeching” them (2 Corinthians 10:2) not to oblige him to have recourse to “bold” and stern exercise of authority. “We walk IN the flesh,” and so in weakness: but not “ACCORDING TO the flesh” (2 Corinthians 10:2). Moreover, though we WALK in it, we do not WAR according to it. A double contrast or antithesis. “They who accuse us of walking after the flesh, shall find [to their cost] that we do not war after the flesh; therefore compel us not to use our weapons” [Alford]. |
2 Corinthians 10:3
Though we walk in the flesh — In mortal bodies, and, consequently, are not free from human weakness. Yet we do not war — Against the world and the devil. After the flesh — By any carnal or worldly methods. Though the apostle here, and in several other parts of this epistle, speaks in the plural number, for the sake of modesty and decency, yet he principally means himself. On him were these reflections thrown, and it is his own authority which he is vindicating. |
2 Corinthians 10:3
(2) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(2) Secondly, he witnesses that although he is similar to other men, yet he comes furnished with that strength which no defence of man can match, whether they resist by craft and deceit, or by force and might, because he battles with divine weapons. |
