2 Corinthians 10 1-6

 01/04 ~ From New Testament Letters

   🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - I, Paul, myself, urge [parakaleó - kaleo - to call to - para - (one's) side; exhort, entreat, encourage, comfort, urge] you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ - I who am humble when face to face, but bold when I am away! - 2 I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness as I count on showing to some who accuse us of walking according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh (carnal nature of disputes, division, aggression, wars) but are God’s divine power to destroy strongholds {of untrue and damaging things}. 5 We destroy arguments and every so called high and lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obeying Christ. 6 Thus being in readiness to vindicate concerning every disobedience, when ones obedience is fulfilled and complete. {Our thinking conformed to Christ, the logos personified, and to the written logos, pre translator errors of course, errors due, surely(?) to their partial disbelief. Then we can know.. and bring gentLy to others awareness.. gentLy over time. No need, imo, for unnecessary division, accusation, etc. As we are “not battling flesh and blood, aka, other persons, but the battle is with powers and principalities which Truth defeats. The sWord of Truth’s tip can separate true thread from not true.. A tapestry with no true thread becomes a mere pile of unraveled threads. We don’t need to use the sWord as if to slice and dice.. only with patience, the doctrines. While being very mindful of our brothers and sisters not yet liberated from all unTruths. Especially as none of us are totally free of anY unTruth.. Truth is the iron/unbreakable (measuring) rod, so spending time in an untruth is a waste of time.}
