2 Korintus 7:12

7:12 So then, even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong, or on account of the one who was wronged, but to reveal to you your eagerness on our behalf ¹  before God.

2 Korintus 13:10

13:10 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive ²  I may not have to deal harshly with you ³  by using my authority – the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!

[7:12]  ¹ tn Grk “but in order that your eagerness on our behalf might be revealed to you.”

[13:10]  ² tn Grk “when I am present,” but in the context of Paul’s third (upcoming) visit to Corinth, this is better translated as “when I arrive.”

[13:10]  ³ tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
