2 Corinthians 10:1-7

1Now 1I, Paul, myself 2urge you by the 3meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who 4am 5meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent! 2I ask that 6when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I intend to be courageous against 7some, who regard us as if we walked 8according to the flesh. 3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle 9according to the flesh, 4for the 10weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but 11divinely powerful 12for the destruction of fortresses. 5We are destroying arguments and all 13arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the 14obedience of Christ, 6and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever 15your obedience is complete.

71617You are looking at 18things as they are outwardly. 19If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, have him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, 20so too are we.
