1. Do you think I am a coward when I am with you and brave when I am far away? Well, I ask you to listen, because Christ himself was humble and gentle.
2. Some people have said that we act like the people of this world. So when I arrive, I expect I will have to be firm and forceful in what I say to them. Please don't make me treat you that way.
3. We live in this world, but we don't act like its people
4. or fight our battles with the weapons of this world. Instead, we use God's power that can destroy fortresses. We destroy arguments
5. and every bit of pride that keeps anyone from knowing God. We capture people's thoughts and make them obey Christ.
