ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 10 v4

UNCORRUPTED WEAPONS. AMBROSIASTER: All worldly things are corrupt, but Paul is strong because he is fighting with uncorrupted weapons. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

SPIRITUAL WEAPONS. CHRYSOSTOM: By “worldly weapons” he means wealth, glory, power, loquaciousness, cleverness, half-truths, flatteries, hypocrisies and so on. The apostle does not use such weapons but only those which are spiritual. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 21.2.

NOT MOSES’ LAW. THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: By “worldly weapons” Paul means the law of Moses. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.

EVERY SIN IS SERIOUS. BASIL: Here, also, one who examines each word minutely can gain a very accurate knowledge of the meaning of the Holy Scripture, so that there is no excuse for any of us being led astray into the snare of sin by an erroneous belief that some sins are punished while others may be committed with impunity. For, what says the apostle?—“destroying counsels and every height that exalts itself against the knowledge of God”; so that every sin, because it is an expression of contempt for the divine law, is called a “height that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” ON THE JUDGMENT OF GOD.
