Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:3

For though we walk in the flesh; we do not war according to the flesh.Flesh ... is used in two senses here, a distinguishing Pauline trademark. Although still in the body (the flesh), his warfare is not according to the nature of unregenerated and sinful people, whose works are governed by material and secular considerations (according to the flesh). read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:4

(For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds).What were Paul's weapons? "We learn from 1 Thessalonians 5:8; Ephesians 6:11-16, that they were the energies of spiritual powers given by the Eternal Spirit."[4]Casting down of strongholds ... "This phrase is essentially military";[5] and the imagery is that of a bitter and relentless warfare. The strongholds were those entrenched and fortified positions of institutionalized sin which... read more

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:3

2 Corinthians 10:3. For though we walk, &c.— "For though we inhabit mortal bodies, and are obliged, in some respects, to stoop to the care of them; yet we do not manage that important war in which we are engaged according to the flesh, by carnal methods, or with worldly or interested views." Mr. Cradock explains this somewhat differently: "Though we are not free from a mixture of human infirmities, yet I do not exercise my apostolical power in a weak manner, as either fearing or flattering... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:4

2 Corinthians 10:4. For the weapons of our warfare, &c.— What are the carnal weapons, and those opposed to them, which he calls mighty through God, may be seen, if we read and compare 1Co 1:23-24 with the 2nd. chap. 1-13 and 2 Corinthians 4:2-6. read more
