arts are based on war and violence, which

has to do with the training of the body, that

is, physical training.

Now, the reason I'm coming to this text

in 2 Corinthians is because our warfare is

spiritual: Put on the armor of God. Put on

the armor of light and be strong in the Lord,

spiritually speaking — in other words, in

prayer, in praise, in faith, pleading the blood

of Christ, doing everything in the name of

Christ. That's where our strength is; that's

where our power is. Second Corinthians

chapter 10, verse 1, says, “Now I Paul myself

beseech you by the meekness and gentleness

of Christ, who in presence am base among

you, but being absent am bold toward you.”
