2 Korintus 1:16-17

1:16 and through your help to go on into Macedonia and then from Macedonia to come back ¹  to you and be helped on our way into Judea by you. 1:17 Therefore when I was planning to do this, I did not do so without thinking about what I was doing, did I? ²  Or do I make my plans ³  according to mere human standards ⁴  so that I would be saying ⁵  both “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?

[1:16]  ¹ tn Grk “come again.”

[1:17]  ² tn The Greek construction anticipates a negative answer. This is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ question “did I?” at the end of the sentence.

[1:17]  ³ tn Grk “the things that I plan, do I plan (them).”

[1:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “according to the flesh.”

[1:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “so that with me there should be.”
