We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.

因为我们虽然在血气中行事，却不凭着血气争战。

我们虽然在血气中行事，却不凭着血气争战。

我们虽然在血气中行事，却不凭着血气争战。

因为我虽然活在血肉之躯里，但在属灵的争战上，却不是凭血气之勇。

我们虽然在世上行事，却不是按照世俗的方式作战，

我们诚然在肉体中行事，但不凭着肉体争战，

因為我們雖然在血氣中行事，卻不憑着血氣爭戰。

我們雖然在血氣中行事，卻不憑着血氣爭戰。

我們雖然在血氣中行事，卻不憑着血氣爭戰。

因為我雖然活在血肉之軀裡，但在屬靈的爭戰上，卻不是憑血氣之勇。

我們雖然在世上行事，卻不是按照世俗的方式作戰，

我們雖以肉身行事，卻不憑着肉體交戰。

我們誠然在肉體中行事，但不憑著肉體爭戰，

我雖行於血氣、非憑血氣而戰、

我雖不能無血氣、而非以血氣戰、

即我儕按血氣而行、不按血氣而戰、

蓋吾人雖生於形體之中、然非從事於形體上之戰爭；

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

I do live in the world. But I don’t fight my battles the way the people of the world do.

For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.

For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh,

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle according to the flesh,

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh

For though we live in the body, we do not wage war in an unspiritual way,

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

For though we live as human beings, we do not wage war according to human standards,

For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;

We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles.

For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.

Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.

So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin.You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God.

My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
