Paul Defends His Apostolic Authority
2 Corinthians 10:1-6
1
Now it is I myself, Sha’ul, making an appeal to you with the meekness and forbearance that come from the Messiah, I who am considered timid when face-to-face with you but intimidating from a distance.
2
But I beg you not to force me to be intimidating when I am with you, as I expect to be toward some who regard us as living in a worldly way.
3
For although we do live in the world, we do not wage war in a worldly way;
4
because the weapons we use to wage war are not worldly. On the contrary, they have God’s power for demolishing strongholds. We demolish arguments
5
and every arrogance that raises itself up against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey the Messiah.
6
And when you have become completely obedient, then we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience.
