3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight according to the flesh.
4 For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds,
5 overthrowing reasonings and every high matter that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to the Messiah,
6 and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
7 Take a look at what you are facing. If anyone seems to trust in himself that he is of Messiah, let him reckon again for himself, that as he is of Messiah, so also are we.
8 For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Master gave us for building up, and not for overthrowing you, I shall not be put to shame,
9 lest I seem to frighten you away by letters.
