New Testament

2 Corinthians 10:3-10 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

3. We live in this world, but we don't act like its people

4. or fight our battles with the weapons of this world. Instead, we use God's power that can destroy fortresses. We destroy arguments

5. and every bit of pride that keeps anyone from knowing God. We capture people's thoughts and make them obey Christ.

6. And when you completely obey him, we will punish anyone who refuses to obey.

7. You judge by appearances. If any of you think you are the only ones who belong to Christ, then think again. We belong to Christ as much as you do.

8. Perhaps I boast a little too much about the authority that the Lord gave me to help you and not to hurt you. Yet I am not embarrassed to boast.

9. And I am not trying to scare you with my letters.

10. Some of you are saying, “Paul's letters are harsh and powerful. But in person, he is a weakling and has nothing worth saying.”
