Against the false apostles, who disgraced the weakness of his person and bodily presence, he setteth out the spiritual might and authority, with which he is armed against all adversary powers,1 ¶ Nowº Iº Paulº myselfº beseechºª youº byº the² meeknessº andº gentlenessº of Christ,º whoº inº presenceº [am]² baseº¹ amongº you,º butº being absentºª am boldºª towardº you:º 2 Butº I beseechºª [you], that I may notº be boldºª when I am presentºª with that confidence,º wherewithº I thinkºª to be boldºª againstº some,º which¹ thinkºª of usº asº if we walkedºª accordingº to the flesh.º 3 Forº though we walkºª inº the flesh,º we do¹ª notº warºª afterº the flesh:º 4 (Forº the² weaponsº of ourº warfareº [are] notº carnal,º butº mightyº through Godº toº the pulling downº of strong holds;)º 5 Casting downºª imaginations,º andº everyº high thingº that exalteth itselfºª againstº the² knowledgeº of God,º andº bringing into captivityºª everyº thoughtº toº the² obedienceº of Christ;º 6 Andº havingºª inº a readinessº to revengeºª allº disobedience,º whenº yourº obedienceº is fulfilled.ºª [1] Ps 45:4; Is 42:3; Zc 9:9; Mt 11:29; 12:19; 21:5; Ac 8:32; Ro 10:20; 12:1; 15:15; 1Co 2:3; 4:10; 16:21; 2Co 3:12; 5:20; 6:1; 7:4; 10:2, 7, 10; 11:21, 30; 12:5, 7; 13:2, 4; Ga 4:13; 5:2; Ep 4:1; 2Th 3:17; Phm 1:9; 1P 2:11, 22; Rv 1:9.
