2 Corinthians 10:5

Paul's Ministry Defended

⁴ (For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places); ⁵ Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ; ⁶ Being ready to give punishment to whatever is against his authority, after you have made it clear that you are completely under his control.
