2 Korintus 1:17

1:17 Therefore when I was planning to do this, I did not do so without thinking about what I was doing, did I? ¹  Or do I make my plans ²  according to mere human standards ³  so that I would be saying ⁴  both “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?

2 Korintus 2:13

2:13 I had no relief in my spirit, ⁵  because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said good-bye to them ⁶  and set out ⁷  for Macedonia.

2 Korintus 8:23

8:23 If there is any question ⁸  about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; if there is any question about our brothers, they are messengers ⁹  of the churches, a glory to Christ.

[1:17]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “the things that I plan, do I plan (them).”

[1:17]  ³ tn Grk “according to the flesh.”

[1:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “so that with me there should be.”

[2:13]  ⁵ tn Or “I had no peace of mind.”

[2:13]  ⁶ tn Or “I took my leave of them.”

[2:13]  ⁷ tn Since this refers to the outset of a journey, the aorist ἐξῆλθον (exhlqon) is taken ingressively.

[8:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “If concerning Titus” (εἴτε ὑπὲρ Τίτου, eite Juper Titou); the Greek sentence opens with an ellipsis which must be supplied: If [there is any question] about Titus.”

[8:23]  ⁹ tn Grk “apostles.”
