The Not So Daily Bible Study: Day Four- 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

The Timeless Apologetic: The Biblical Teaching Against False Teaching

Observation: What do I see in the text?

1. Read all of 2 Corinthians 10 at least twice.
  • As you read ask who, what, when, why, where, and how.

2. Somehow mark key words/terms that you find in the text. An example of a key word in the text would be the word "strongholds." "Strongholds" (some translations use fortresses) refers to arguments that form a sort of fortification that is raised up against the knowledge of God.

3. Mark key verbs/verbal phrases taking note of what tense they are in- past, present, or future. An example would be the verb "destroy" which is a present tense verb. Paul says that believers destroy arguments that stand as a barrier between people and the knowledge of God.

4. Consider this question...

  • Does this passage provide believers with an apologetic (a defense of the Faith) imperative?
