2 Corinthians 10:6

Read in context

2 Corinthians 10:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

5 We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.

7 You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.

8 For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.
