Week 10: Only “one word” mistranslated…<br />

Does it make a difference? flesh or world?<br />

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh,<br />

we do not war according to the flesh,<br />

4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh,<br />

but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.<br />

5 [We are] destroying speculations and every lofty thing<br />

raised up against the knowledge of God, and [we are]<br />

taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,<br />

(NASB)<br />

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh,<br />

we do not war after the flesh:<br />

4 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal,<br />

but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)<br />

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that<br />

exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing<br />

into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;<br />

(KJV)<br />

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we live in the world,<br />

we do not wage war as the world does.<br />

4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.<br />

On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.<br />

5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself<br />

up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every<br />

thought to make it obedient to Christ. (NIV)<br />

The Greek word is “sarx”, meaning flesh. NIV is in grave error:
