2 Korintus 7:5

7:5 For even when we came into Macedonia, our body ¹  had no rest at all, but we were troubled in every way – struggles from the outside, fears from within.

2 Korintus 11:3-4

11:3 But I am afraid that ²  just as the serpent ³  deceived Eve by his treachery, ⁴  your minds may be led astray ⁵  from a sincere and pure ⁶  devotion to Christ. 11:4 For if someone comes and proclaims ⁷  another Jesus different from the one we proclaimed, ⁸  or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received, ⁹  or a different gospel than the one you accepted, ¹⁰  you put up with it well enough! ¹¹ 

[7:5]  ¹ tn Grk “our flesh.”

[11:3]  ² tn Grk “I fear lest somehow.”

[11:3]  ³ tn Or “the snake.”

[11:3]  ⁴ tn Or “craftiness.”

[11:3]  ⁵ tn Or “corrupted,” “seduced.”

[11:3]  ⁶ tc Although most mss (א² H Ψ 0121 0243 1739 1881 Ï) lack “and pure” (καὶ τῆς ἁγνότητος, kai th" Jagnothto"; Grk “and purity”) several important and early witnesses (Ì⁴⁶ א* B D^[2] F G 33 81 104 pc ar r co) retain these words. Their presence in such mss across such a wide geographical distribution argues for their authenticity. The omission from the majority of mss can be explained by haplography, since the -τητος ending of ἁγνότητος is identical to the ending of ἁπλότητος (Japlothto", “sincerity”) three words back (ἁπλότητος καὶ τῆς ἁγνότητος); further, since the meanings of “sincerity” and “purity” are similar they might seem redundant. A copyist would scarcely notice the omission because Paul’s statement still makes sense without “and from purity.”

[11:4]  ⁷ tn Or “preaches.”

[11:4]  ⁸ tn Grk “another Jesus whom we have not proclaimed.”

[11:4]  ⁹ tn Grk “a different spirit which you did not receive.”

[11:4]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “a different gospel which you did not accept.”

[11:4]  ¹¹ tn Or “you endure it very well.”
