2 Korintus 4:2
Konteks4:2 But we have rejected 1 shameful hidden deeds, 2 not behaving 3 with deceptiveness 4 or distorting the word of God, but by open proclamation of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience before God.
2 Korintus 5:11
Konteks5:11 Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, 5 we try to persuade 6 people, 7 but we are well known 8 to God, and I hope we are well known to your consciences too.
2 Korintus 5:16
Konteks5:16 So then from now on we acknowledge 9 no one from an outward human point of view. 10 Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, 11 now we do not know him in that way any longer.

[5:11] 6 tn The present tense of πείθομεν (peiqomen) has been translated as a conative present.
