2 Korintus 1:19

1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us – by me and Silvanus ¹  and Timothy – was not “Yes” and “No,” but it has always been “Yes” in him.

2 Korintus 4:4

4:4 among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who do not believe ²  so they would not see the light of the glorious gospel ³  of Christ, ⁴  who is the image of God.

2 Korintus 4:14

4:14 We do so ⁵  because we know that the one who raised up Jesus ⁶  will also raise us up with Jesus and will bring us with you into his presence.

2 Korintus 5:21

5:21 God ⁷  made the one who did not know sin ⁸  to be sin for us, so that in him ⁹  we would become the righteousness of God.

[1:19]  ¹ sn Silvanus is usually considered to be the same person as Silas (L&N 93.340).

[4:4]  ² tn Or “of unbelievers.”

[4:4]  ³ tn Grk “the gospel of the glory”; δόξης (doxhs) has been translated as an attributive genitive.

[4:4]  ⁴ tn Or “so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ would not be evident to them” (L&N 28.37).

[4:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “speak, because.” A new sentence was started here in the translation, with the words “We do so” supplied to preserve the connection with the preceding statement.

[4:14]  ⁶ tc ‡ Several important witnesses (א C D F G Ψ 1881), as well as the Byzantine text, add κύριον (kurion) here, changing the reading to “the Lord Jesus.” Although the external evidence in favor of the shorter reading is slim, the witnesses are important, early, and diverse (Ì⁴⁶ B [0243 33] 629 [630] 1175* [1739] pc r sa). Very likely scribes with pietistic motives added the word κύριον, as they were prone to do, thus compounding this title for the Lord.

[5:21]  ⁷ tn Grk “He”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:21]  ⁸ sn The one who did not know sin is a reference to Jesus Christ.

[5:21]  ⁹ sn That is, “in Christ.”
