Gloria Copeland — Patience During Spiritual Warfare
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Hebrews 10:35-36
KJV—Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompense of
reward. For ye have need of patience, that,
after ye have done the will of God, ye might
receive the promise.
Amp—Do not, therefore, fling away your
fearless confidence, for it carries a great
and glorious compensation of reward. For
you have need of steadfast patience and
endurance, so that you may perform and
fully accomplish the will of God, and thus
receive and carry away [and enjoy to the
full] what is promised.
Moffatt—Now do not drop that confidence
of yours; it carries with it a rich hope of
reward. Steady patience is what you need,
so that after doing the will of God you may
receive what you were promised.
NEB—Do not then throw away your confidence,
for it carries a great reward. You
need endurance, if you are to do God’s will
and win what he has promised.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
KJV—For though we walk in the flesh, we
do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons
of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty
through God to the pulling down of strong
holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every
high thing that exalteth itself against
the knowledge of God, and bringing into
captivity every thought to the obedience
of Christ.
Amp—For though we walk [live] in the flesh,
we are not carrying on our warfare according
to the flesh and using mere human
weapons. For the weapons of our warfare
are not physical (weapons of flesh and
blood), but they are mighty before God for
the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,
[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments
and theories and reasonings and every
proud and lofty thing that sets itself up
against the (true) knowledge of God; and
we lead every thought and purpose away
captive into the obedience of Christ, the
Messiah, the Anointed One.
Moffatt—I do live in the flesh, but I do not
make war as the flesh does; the weapons
of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh,
but divinely strong to demolish fortresses—
I demolish theories and any rampart
thrown up to resist the knowledge of God,
I take every project prisoner to make it
obey Christ.
NEB—Weak men we may be, but it is not
as such that we fight our battles. The weapons
we wield are not merely human, but
divinely potent to demolish strongholds; we
demolish sophistries and all that rears its
proud head against the knowledge of God;
we compel every human thought to surrender
in obedience to Christ.
