1 Korintus 16:2
Konteks16:2 On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income 3 and save 4 it to the extent that God has blessed you, 5 so that a collection will not have to be made 6 when I come.
[7:17] 1 tn Or “only”; Grk “if not.”
[7:29] 2 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
[16:2] 3 tn Grk “set aside, storing whatever he has been blessed with.”
[16:2] 4 tn Grk “set aside, storing.” The participle θησαυρίζων (qhsaurizwn) indicates the purpose or result of setting aside the extra income.
[16:2] 5 tn “To the extent that God has blessed you” translates an awkward expression, “whatever has been prospered [to you].” This verb has been translated as an active with “God” as subject, taking it as a divine passive.
[16:2] 6 tn Grk “so that collections will not be taking place.”
