Now ^(a)I, Paul, myself ^(b)urge you by the ^(c)meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who ^(d)am ^[a]meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!

I ask that ^(e)when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against ^(f)some, who regard us as if we walked ^(g)according to the flesh.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war ^(h)according to the flesh,

for the ⁽ⁱ⁾weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but ^[b]divinely powerful ^(j)for the destruction of fortresses.
