2 Corinthians 10:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ and every ·proud thing [pretension; exalted opinion; ^Lhigh thing] that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We capture every thought and make it obey Christ. ⁶ We are ready to ·punish [avenge] ·anyone there who does not obey [^Levery disobedience], ·but first we want you to obey fully [^Lonce/after your obedience is fulfilled; ^Conce the church as a whole repents, Paul will discipline those who refuse].

⁷ You ·must look at the facts before you [or are looking only at outward appearances]. If you ·feel sure [are confident] that you belong to Christ, you must ·remember [consider again] that we belong to Christ just as you do.
