2 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 10

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 10:5
  
  we are overturning reasonings and every lofty thing: In waging spiritual warfare inside the congregation, Christians need to overturn, or destroy, any wrong reasonings or false teachings. These and other obstacles stand like imposing walls in the way of those who seek to gain accurate knowledge of God. Even within the Christian congregation, “injurious reasonings” might hinder a person from having a relationship with God. (Mr 7:21) Literal swords and spears are useless against such reasonings, so “the weapons of our warfare” include “the sword of the spirit, that is, God’s word.” (2Co 10:4; Eph 6:17) By using this sword, Christians are able to expose false doctrines, harmful practices, and philosophies that reflect human thinking.—1Co 2:6-8; Eph 6:11-13.
