2 Korintus 7:15

8:2 that during a severe ordeal of suffering, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth ⁴  of their generosity.

[1:9]  ¹ tn Grk “we ourselves had the sentence of death within ourselves.” Here ἀπόκριμα (apokrima) is being used figuratively; no actual official verdict had been given, but in light of all the difficulties that Paul and his colleagues had suffered, it seemed to them as though such an official verdict had been rendered against them (L&N 56.26).

[1:9]  ² tn Or “might not put confidence in ourselves.”

[7:15]  ³ tn Or “is all the more.”

[8:2]  ⁴ tn Or “riches.”
