Barclay: (for the weapons of our campaign are not merely human weapons, but God has made them powerful to destroy fortresses). (Westminster Press) Plummer - For the weapons of our campaign are not those of feeble human flesh. No, they are full of power, in God’s service and with His blessing, for the demolition of the strongholds which defy His Gospel; Berkley: for the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but they are powerful with God’s help for the tearing down of fortresses, ESV: For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

Barclay - It is I Paul who call upon you—and I am doing it in the gentleness and the sweet reasonableness of Christ—I, who, as you say, am a poor creature when I am with you, but a man of courage when I am absent. The Living Bible - I plead with you—yes, I, Paul—and I plead gently, as Christ himself would do. Yet some of you are saying, “Paul’s letters are bold enough when he is far away, but when he gets here he will be afraid to raise his voice!” Phillips Now I am going to appeal to you personally, by the gentleness and sympathy of Christ himself. Yes, I, Paul, the one who is “humble enough in our presence but outspoken when away from us” NIV By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am Kistemaker - I, Paul, personally appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am subservient among you when present in person but bold toward you when away KJV 2 Corinthians 10:1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: NET 2 Corinthians 10:1 Now I, Paul, appeal to you personally by the meekness and gentleness of Christ (I who am meek when present among you, but am full of courage toward you when away!)– BGT 2 Corinthians 10:1 Αὐτὸς δὲ ἐγὼ Παῦλος παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς διὰ τῆς πραΰτητος καὶ ἐπιεικείας τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὃς κατὰ πρόσωπον μὲν ταπεινὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, ἀπὼν δὲ θαρρῶ εἰς ὑμᾶς· NLT 2 Corinthians 10:1 Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ-- though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away. ESV 2 Corinthians 10:1 I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ-- I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!-- NIV 2 Corinthians 10:1 By the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you--I, Paul, who am "timid" when face to face with you, but "bold" when away! YLT 2 Corinthians 10:1 And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you, ASV 2 Corinthians 10:1 Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you: CSB 2 Corinthians 10:1 Now I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ-- I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent. MIT 2 Corinthians 10:1 I, Paul, appeal to you in reference to myself in terms of the considerateness and courtesy of Christ. When among you, my image is that of one humbly reserved, but when away, it is as of one intrepidly resolute toward you. NKJ 2 Corinthians 10:1 Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ-- who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

GWN 2 Corinthians 10:1 I, Paul, make my appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ. I'm the one who is humble when I'm with you but forceful toward you when I'm not with you. BBE 2 Corinthians 10:1 Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you: I Paul: 1Co 16:21,22 Ga 5:2 2Th 3:17 Philemon 1:9 Rev 1:9 urge: 2Co 10:2 5:20 6:1 Ro 12:1 Eph 4:1 1Pe 2:11 by the meekness: Ps 45:4 Isa 42:3,4 Zec 9:9 Mt 11:29 12:19,20 21:5 Ac 8:32 1Pe 2:22,23 I who am meek when face to face 2Co 10:7,10 meek: 2Co 10:10 11:30 12:5,7-9 13:4 1Co 2:3 4:10 Ga 4:13 bold: 2Co 3:12 2Co 7:4 11:21 13:2,3 Ro 10:20 15:15 2 Corinthians 10 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Irving Jensen's Outline of Chapters 10-13 VINDICATION OF PAUL’S MINISTRY 2 Cor 10:1–13:14 Authority and Approval of a True Ministry 2Co 10:1–18 True and False Apostles 2Co 11:1–15 Credentials of a True Ministry 2Co 11:16–12:13 “Prepare for My Visit” 2Co 12:14–13:14 Warren Wiersbe's Outline - (Wiersbe's Expository Outlines on the New Testament) I Follow Christ’s Example (10:1) I Use Spiritual Weapons (10:2–6) I Don’t Judge by Appearance (10:7–11) I Let God Do the Commending (10:12–18) Related Passages: 2Cor 1:24+ Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm. 1 Corinthians 4:21 (PAUL'S RETICENCE TO USE A "ROD" ON THE CORINTHIANS) What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness (prautes)? Matthew 11:29+ (CHRIST'S GENTLENESS) “Take (aorist imperative see our need to depend on the Holy Spirit to obey) My yoke upon you and learn (aorist imperative see our need to depend on the Holy Spirit to obey) from Me, for I am gentle (praus root of prautes) and humble (tapeinos) in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 1 Peter 2:19-23+ (RELATES TO PAUL'S UNJUST SUFFERING) For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up (hupophero) under sorrows when suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor (charis) with God. 21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, 22 WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH; 23 and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; PAUL IMITATES CHRIST IN MEEKNESS AND IN ACCUSATION 2Co 10:1 "now" marks a new subject where Paul defends his apostleship against false charges against him. Thus chapters 10-13 represent Paul's answers to the accusation of his enemies. Colin Kruse has some interesting comments on Chapter 10-13. One needs to keep in mind that there is not full agreement among conservative commentaries on this last section of 2 Corinthians (some think it was a separate letter, even the "severe letter," etc) and the thoughts by Kruse are only one opinion to consider. Ultimately each reader must be a Berean (Acts 17:11+) regarding this final section. The reader will notice a marked change in tone when moving from chapters. 1–9 to chapters 10–13. In the former the tone is basically that of relief and comfort, of confidence in God and in the Corinthians, despite the fact Paul felt the need to explain his changed travel plans and stress the integrity of his ministry. The tone of the latter is very different. It is marked by satire and sarcasm, spirited personal defense, reproach directed towards the Corinthians and bitter attack levelled at outsiders who have infiltrated and are now influencing the congregation. In chapters 10–13 Paul faces determined opposition. The opponents are Jewish Christians (SOME CALL THEM JUDAIZERS) who put themselves forward as apostles of Christ. They highly prized eloquent speech, displays of authority, visions and revelations, and the performance of mighty works as the signs of a true apostle....Seeing Paul being thus reinstated in the affections of the Corinthians, and his authority re-established among them (ED: CHAPTERS 1-7 DESCRIBE RECONCILIATION), the infiltrators mounted their own frontal attack against the validity and integrity of Paul’s apostolate. They succeeded in winning over the Corinthian congregation to their point of view and getting them to submit to their authority. Paul, finding his authority usurped and his apostleship called into question, was forced, against his better judgment, to provide a strong personal defence and to mount a vigorous attack against his opponents. The crisis Paul faced in this situation was the most crucial in all his relationships with the Corinthians, and this fact colours both the tone and content of chapters 10–13.

2 Coríntios 10
Barclay - It is my prayer that, when I do come to you, I may not have to be bold with that confidence with which I reckon that I can boldly face some who reckon that we direct our conduct by purely human motives. Plummer - I pray you not to drive me, when I do come to you, to be fearlessly outspoken with the sure confidence with which I am persuaded that I can muster courage against certain persons who are persuaded that we think and act on worldly and carnal principles. Kistemaker - I ask that when I come I need not be bold and have confidence with which I expect to be courageous against some who think that we conduct ourselves in a worldly manner.
