Context of 2 Corinthians 10:6

4The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood].

If anyone is confident that he is Christ’s, he should reflect and consider this, that just as he is Christ’s, so too are we. 8For even though I boast rather freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed [of the truth],
