2 Corinthians 10:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly[a], but powerful in[b] God for the tearing-down of fortresses. We are tearing-down[c] considerations[d] 5 and every height[e] being raised-up against the knowledge of God, and taking-captive every thought[f] to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish[g] all disobedience[h], when your obedience is fulfilled[i].
