2 Korintus 1:13

1:13 For we do not write you anything other than what ¹  you can read and also understand. But I hope that you will understand completely ² 

2 Korintus 5:17

5:17 So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away ³  – look, what is new ⁴  has come! ⁵ 

2 Korintus 10:8

10:8 For if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us ⁶  for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of doing so. ⁷ 

2 Korintus 11:20

11:20 For you put up with ⁸  it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone behaves arrogantly ⁹  toward you, if someone strikes you in the face.

[1:13]  ¹ tn Grk “than the things.”

[1:13]  ² tn Grk “to the end,” a Greek idiom for “fully,” “totally,” “completely.”

[5:17]  ³ tn Grk “old things have passed away.”

[5:17]  ⁴ tc Most mss have the words τὰ πάντα (ta panta, “all things”; cf. KJV “behold, all things are become new”), some after καίνα (kaina, “new”; D² K L P Ψ 104 326 945 2464 pm) and others before it (6 33 81 614 630 1241 1505 1881 pm). The reading without τὰ πάντα, however, has excellent support from both the Western and Alexandrian texttypes (Ì⁴⁶ א B C D* F G 048 0243 365 629 1175 1739 pc co), and the different word order of the phrase which includes it (“all things new” or “new all things”) in the ms tradition indicates its secondary character. This secondary addition may have taken place because of assimilation to τὰ δὲ πάντα (ta de panta, “and all [these] things”) that begins the following verse.

[5:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “new things have come [about].”

[10:8]  ⁶ tn The word “us” is not in the Greek text but is supplied. Indirect objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context, and must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[10:8]  ⁷ tn Grk “I will not be put to shame,” “I will not be ashamed.” The words “of doing so” are supplied to clarify for the reader that Paul will not be ashamed of boasting somewhat more about the authority the Lord gave him (beginning of v. 8).

[11:20]  ⁸ tn Or “you tolerate.”

[11:20]  ⁹ tn See L&N 88.212.
