2 Corinthians 10:1-4

1Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ—though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away.

2Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won’t have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives.

3We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.

4We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
