Epistle
2 Corinthians 9.12-10.7
Read in context9:12For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
9:13Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
9:14And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
9:15Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
10:1Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
10:2But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
10:3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
10:4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
10:5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
10:6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
10:7Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
