For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
Yeah, we're still human and live in these physical bodies, but we don't fight our battles the way the world does.
We're human, but we don't have to fight like humans do.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians to address conflicts and defend his apostolic authority against false teachers who questioned his leadership. At this time, the Corinthian church was dealing with internal divisions and external criticisms, prompting Paul to emphasize that spiritual matters should not be handled with worldly tactics. Paul uses this verse to introduce a discussion on spiritual warfare, contrasting human methods with divine ones in the context of early Christian challenges.
