King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
3
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
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;
5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
6
And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
