2 Corinthians 10:4
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)”
δύναμις
The root of our word dynamite. But dunamis is not explosive destruction — it is the inherent ability to accomplish what needs to be done. Jesus says you will receive this power. Not work for it, earn it or deserve it. Receive it. The Holy Spirit is not a reward. He is a gift.
