2 Corinthians 10:3; We Do Not War After the Flesh

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

The Apostle Paul sought the wisdom of God in thwarting the efforts of the enemies to the gospel. He explained well the reason in Romans 8:2-6 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Indeed, this wisdom of God is not after the flesh as James distinguishes in James 3:15-18 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

May the Lord bless His wisdom imparted by His Spirit to His people for His glory to the progress of His gospel work on earth. Amen.
