'Down' in the Bible

For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;

(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),

casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:

and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down.
