[1:11]  ¹ tn Grk “so that thanks may be given by many.” The words “to God” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. The passive construction has been converted to an active one for clarity, in keeping with contemporary English style.

[4:7]  ² tn Grk “the surpassingness of the power”; δυνάμεως (dunamew") has been translated as an attributed genitive (“extraordinary power”).

[4:10]  ³ tn The first clause of 2 Cor 4:10 is elliptical and apparently refers to the fact that Paul was constantly in danger of dying in the same way Jesus died (by violence at least). According to L&N 23.99 it could be translated, “at all times we live in the constant threat of being killed as Jesus was.”

[4:10]  ⁴ tn Or “may also be revealed.”

[4:11]  ⁵ tn Or “may also be revealed.”

[4:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “mortal flesh.”

[4:15]  ⁷ tn Or “that is abounding to.”

[4:15]  ⁸ tn Or “to abound.”

[5:12]  ⁹ tn The present tense of συνιστάνομεν (sunistanomen) has been translated as a conative present.

[5:12]  ¹⁰ tn Or “to boast about us.”

[5:12]  ¹¹ tn Or “who boast.”

[5:12]  ¹² tn Or “in what is seen.”

[5:15]  ¹³ tn Or “but for him who died and was raised for them.”

[7:9]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “were grieved” (so also twice later in the verse).

[7:9]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “corresponding to God,” that is, corresponding to God’s will (κατὰ θεόν, kata qeon). The same phrase occurs in vv. 10 and 11.

[7:9]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “so that you did not suffer loss.”

[8:9]  ¹⁷ tn Or “generosity.”

[9:4]  ¹⁸ tn Or “be disgraced”; Grk “be put to shame.”

[9:4]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “by this confidence”; the words “we had in you” are not in the Greek text, but are supplied as a necessary clarification for the English reader.

[9:8]  ²⁰ tn Or “abound.”

[9:8]  ²¹ tn Or “so that by having enough.” The Greek participle can be translated as a participle of cause (“because you have enough”) or means (“by having enough”).

[11:16]  ²³ tn Or “am foolish.”
