2 Korintus 1:17
Konteks1:17 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 5:10
Konteks5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, 5 so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil. 6
[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.”
[5:10] 5 sn The judgment seat (βῆμα, bhma) was a raised platform mounted by steps and sometimes furnished with a seat, used by officials in addressing an assembly or making pronouncements, often on judicial matters. The judgment seat was a common item in Greco-Roman culture, often located in the agora, the public square or marketplace in the center of a city. Use of the term in reference to Christ’s judgment would be familiar to Paul’s 1st century readers.
