2 Corinthians 10:3 BBE

¹  Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:

²  Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

³  For though we may be living in the flesh, we are not fighting after the way of the flesh

⁴  (For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

⁵  Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;
