哥林多後書 10:5-6 CUNPTS

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 10:1-18

2 Corinthians 10:1 . Who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold towards you. Paul retorts ironically the unworthy insinuations of the false teachers, sent out by the sanhedrim of Jerusalem, and in the full pay of the synagogue, to bring back the people to the ceremonial law. These, it would seem, made a genteel appearance, while Paul appeared in humbler dress, often labouring with his own hands. 2 Corinthians 10:2 . I beseech you; yea, to cut off occasion from those... read more

2 Corinthians 10:3-6For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh The distinctions between the good and the badWhat is conceded by the apostle in the text as to the general state of the servants of Christ; or, in other words, what is meant by the expression, we “walk in the flesh”?I. It is evident that this expression does not mean the same thing as “walking after the flesh”; for, in the Epistle to the Romans, it is expressly said that the servant of God “does not walk after... read more

2 Corinthians 10:5Casting down imaginations.Forts demolished and prisoners takenI. Fortresses demolished. Many things are opposed to the knowledge of God. Some are garrisoned against it by the feeling--1. That they do not want to know God. The masses of our fellow-countrymen are not so much opposed to the gospel as indifferent to it. “What shall we eat?” etc., are far more important questions than “What must we do to be saved?” This entrenchment has to be carried, and the gospel arouses... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 10:5

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; Ver. 5. Casting down imaginations ] As the spittle that comes out of a man’s month slayeth serpents, so doth that which proceedeth out of the mouths of God’s faithful ministers quell and kill evil imaginations, carnal reasonings, which are that legion of domestic devils, that hold near intelligence with the old serpent. ... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 10:6

6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Ver. 6. And having in a readiness ] Vengeance is every whit as ready in God’s hand, as in the minister’s mouth. See Matthew 16:19 ; Matthew 18:18 . Elisha hath his sword as well as Jehu and Hazael, 1 Kings 19:17 . God hews men by his prophets and slays them by the words of his mouth, Hosea 6:5 . By preaching, Christ many times smites the earth, Isaiah 11:4 ; his word lays hold on them, Zechariah 1:6 ,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:5

5. Casting This participle, like having, in 2 Corinthians 10:6, refers, through our, in 2 Corinthians 10:4, to we in 2 Corinthians 10:3. 2 Corinthians 10:4 parenthetically describes the weapons, but 2 Corinthians 10:3; 2 Corinthians 10:5, describe the war and warriors. Imaginations The intellectual powers for which strongholds was the figure. The word, of course, is used to include the proud fancies and pretences of St. Paul’s assailants, but comprehends much mightier powers. Paul’s ... read more
