2 Corinthians 10:3-7
New American Standard Bible
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle (A)according to the flesh, 4 for the (B)weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but [a]divinely powerful (C)for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying arguments and all (D)arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the (E)obedience of Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever (F)your obedience is complete.
7 [b](G)You are looking at [c]things as they are outwardly. (H)If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, have him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, (I)so too are we.

New International Version
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.(A) 4 The weapons we fight with(B) are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power(C) to demolish strongholds.(D) 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God,(E) and we take captive every thought to make it obedient(F) to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.(G)
7 You are judging by appearances.[a](H) If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ,(I) they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do.(J)

2 Corinthians 10:3-7
King James Version
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting 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;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 Do 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.
