³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle ^(A)according to the flesh, ⁴ for the ^(B)weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but ^[a]divinely powerful ^(C)for the destruction of fortresses. ⁵ We are destroying arguments and all ^(D)arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the ^(E)obedience of Christ, ⁶ and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever ^(F)your obedience is complete.

⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, ^(A)whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is ^[a]lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things. ⁹ As for the things you have learned and received and heard and seen ^(B)in me, practice these things, and ^(C)the God of peace will be with you.
