2. I beg you that when I come I won't have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people. They think that I live the way the people of this world live.
3. I do live in the world. But I don't fight my battles the way the people of the world do.
4. The weapons I fight with are not the weapons the world uses. In fact, it is just the opposite. My weapons have the power of God to destroy the camps of the enemy.
5. I destroy every claim and every reason that keeps people from knowing God. I keep every thought under control in order to make it obey Christ.
6. Until you have obeyed completely, I will be ready to punish you every time you don't obey.
7. You are looking only at what appears on the surface of things. Suppose you are sure you belong to Christ. Then you should consider again that I belong to Christ just as much as you do.
