哥林多後書 10:5-6 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 10:5

Casting down. This agrees with "we" understood, not with "weapons." Imaginations; rather, disputations, or reasonings . Every high thing that exalteth itself; rather, every height that is exalted . Against the knowledge of God (see 1 Corinthians 15:34 ). There, however, we have passive ignorance, here active opposition. Bringing into captivity. When the fortresses are razed, their defenders will be taken prisoners, but for a beneficent end. Every thought. Even intellectual... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 10:6

Being in a readiness; i.e. being quite prepared. My sternness of purpose is ready, but my hope is that it may not be called into action. To revenge; rather, to do justice upon . In any case, in this infliction of justice, whatever form it might take, he would only be an agent of God ( Romans 12:19 ). When your obedience is fulfilled. St. Paul is confident that he will overcome the mazes of those opposed to him, and win them to Christ's obedience; but if there were any who... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:5

Casting down imaginations - Margin, reasonings. The word is probably used here in the sense of device, and refers to all the plans of a wicked world; the various systems of false philosophy; and the reasonings of the enemies of the gospel. The various systems of false philosophy were so intrenched that they might be called the stronghold of the enemies of God. The foes of Christianity pretend to a great deal of reason, and rely on that in resisting the gospel.And every high thing ... - Every... read more

And having in a readiness ... - I am ready to punish all disobedience, notwithstanding all that is said to the contrary; see the notes on 2 Corinthians 10:1-2. Clothed as I am with this power; aiming to subdue all things to Christ, though the weapons of my warfare are not carnal, and though I am modest or timid 2 Corinthians 10:1 when I am with you, I am prepared to take any measures of severity required by my apostolic office, in order that I may inflict deserved punishment on those who have... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 10:5-6

2 Corinthians 10:5-6. Casting down imaginations Λογισμους καθαιρουντες , literally, demolishing reasonings, namely, such as were fallacious and sophistical, by which vain men endeavoured to controvert, disprove, or even expose to contempt and ridicule, the doctrine of the gospel, and the whole Christian system. For the reasonings which the apostle speaks of, and says they threw down, were not the candid reasonings of those who attentively considered the evidences of the gospel, but the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 10:1-18

10:1-13:14 APOSTOLIC AUTHORITYIn spite of all Paul has said, there were still trouble-makers at Corinth. Certain travelling preachers had gained some standing in the church and continued to make accusations against Paul. Paul refers to them ironically as ‘super apostles’, and more directly as ‘false apostles’ (see 11:5,13).Spiritual power; worthless boasting (10:1-18)These so-called apostles repeatedly questioned the authority of Paul and succeeded in winning some of the Corinthians over to... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:5

Casting down imaginations, and every evil thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.Imaginations ... appear here in company with other evils; and despite the fact of man's imagination being a glorious distinction between himself and the lower creations, the misuse of it is superlatively sinful. It was true then, and it is true now. It is the "imagination" of scholars which seeks to challenge the unity of this... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:6

And being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.Your obedience shall be made full ... This does not mean, as Filson asserted, that "the church's obedience is here yet to come";[7] but that it was to be made COMPLETE when Paul had disposed of "some" who were enemies of the truth. There is in this passage an implied admission that their obedience, even at that time, was approaching fullness. The thing that would complete it was Paul's determination, or... read more
