II. Cor. 10: 4, 5. [For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal [carnal mind], but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds] [strong men, i.e. carnal minds]; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself [the carnal law; the wisdom of men, which is foolishness with God] against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity [i.e., to the mind which is in Christ; the only begotten Son, in each and every man] every thought [every thought of the carnal mind] to the obedience of Christ.
