Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

    And every height that exhalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ.

Aramaic Bible in Plain English

    And we pull down reasonings and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and we take all minds prisoner to the obedience of The Messiah.

The Message

    verses 4-5  . . . The tools of our trade aren’t for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God . . .
