SPIRITUAL WARFARE
II CORINTHIANS 10:3-6

V3: “For though we walk (peripateo = to walk around) in the flesh (sarx), we do not war (strateuomai = wage war) after the flesh (sarx):”

V4: “For the weapons (hopla = arms, instruments) of our warfare strateia = military service) are not carnal (sarkikos = fleshly), but mighty (dunatos = able, powerful) through God (theos) to the pulling down (kathairesis = a taking down, overthrow) of strong holds (ochuroma = a fortress);”

V5: “Casting down (kathaireo = put down, lift down, overthrow) imaginations (logismos = reasonings), and every high thing (hupsoma = high thing) that exalteth itself against (epziro = to lift up against) the knowledge (gnosis) of God (theos), and bringing into captivity (alchmanotizo = to take by the spear) every thought (understanding, contrivance, design) to the obedience (hupekoe = hearkening submissively) of Christ (anointed);”

V6: “And having in a readiness (hetoimos = to be ready) to revenge (ekdikeo = to avenge, exact full justice) all disobedience (lack of attention, a hearing amiss), when your obedience (hupakoe = hearking submissively) is fulfilled (pleroo = to fill or to make full).”
