2 Korintus 4:8-9

4:8 We are experiencing trouble on every side, ¹  but are not crushed; we are perplexed, ²  but not driven to despair; 4:9 we are persecuted, but not abandoned; ³  we are knocked down, ⁴  but not destroyed,

[4:8]  ¹ tn Grk “we are hard pressed [by crowds] on every side.”

[4:8]  ² tn Or “at a loss.”

[4:9]  ³ tn Or “forsaken.”

[4:9]  ⁴ tn Or “badly hurt.” It is possible to interpret καταβαλλόμενοι (kataballomenoi) here as “badly hurt”: “[we are] badly hurt, but not destroyed” (L&N 20.21).
