2 Corinthians 10:3 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

For though we walk, &c.— "For though we inhabit mortal bodies, and are obliged, in some respects, to stoop to the care of them; yet we do not manage that important war in which we are engaged according to the flesh, by carnal methods, or with worldly or interested views." Mr. Cradock explains this somewhat differently: "Though we are not free from a mixture of human infirmities, yet I do not exercise my apostolical power in a weak manner, as either fearing or flattering men; but use such spiritual weapons as Christian fortitude, zeal, freedom in speaking the truths of God, and courage in administering the censures of the church; which, through the divine concurrence, are very effectual."An ingenious critic would render the verse thus: For walking IN the flesh, not ACCORDING TO the flesh, we carry on our warfare.
