2 Corintios 10:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 10:3

For though we walk in the flesh
The apostle removes the calumny of walking after the flesh, by owning that they were in the flesh, in the body, in a state of imperfection, attended with many weaknesses and infirmities, and surrounded with a variety of afflictions and sorrows; in this sense they were, and lived and walked in the flesh; but then he denies the charge exhibited against them,

we do not war after the flesh:
every Christian's life is a warfare with Satan, and his principalities and powers, with the world, the men and lusts of it, and with the corruptions of their own hearts; and much more is the life of a minister of the Gospel, who is called forth to meet the adversary in the gate; to stand in the hottest place of the battle, and sustain the whole fire and artillery of the enemy; to fight the good fight of faith, endure hardness as a good soldier of Christ, and with the weapons he is furnished with to war a good warfare: which is not done "after the flesh"; in such a manner as the men of the world wage war with one another; or upon carnal principles; or with carnal selfish views; or in a weak way and manner; but in a spiritual way, with all simplicity and disinterested views, with great courage and intrepidity of mind.

2 Corintios 10:3 In-Context

1 Os ruego, sin embargo, yo Pablo, por la mansedumbre y modestia del Cristo, (que presente ciertamente soy bajo entre vosotros, mas ausente soy confiado con vosotros)

2 ruego pues, que cuando estuviere presente, no sea necesario ser atrevido con la confianza de que soy estimado usar con algunos, que nos tienen como si anduviéramos según la carne

3 Pues aunque andamos en la carne, no militamos según la carne

4 (Porque las armas de nuestra milicia no son carnales, sino poderosas de parte de Dios para la destrucción de fortalezas)

5 destruyendo consejos, y toda altura que se levanta contra la ciencia de Dios, y llevando cautivo todo pensamiento a la obediencia del Cristo
