2Co 10:3-5 For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, (4) since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments (5) and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ.
The weapons Paul used were the proclaimed Word of God and prayer, weapons with divine power. In dependence on God these weapons, frail by worldly standards, are able to demolish the arguments and every pretension of the gospel’s foes. Neither the god of this Age nor his henchmen could oppose the knowledge of God on which Paul relied. The object of Paul’s warfare was to make people obedient. Paul was not interested in making them subject to himself or any other man after the manner of the world.
