New King James Version NKJV
New International Version NIV
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to 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 in God for pulling down strongholds,
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 arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity 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 being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
6
And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
