2 Korintus 11:9

11:9 When ¹  I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs. ²  I ³  kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

2 Korintus 2:1

2:1 So ⁴  I made up my own mind ⁵  not to pay you another painful visit. ⁶ 

[11:9]  ¹ tn Grk “you, and when.” A new sentence was started here in the translation.

[11:9]  ² tn If the participle ἐλθόντες (elqonte") is taken as temporal rather than adjectival, the translation would be, “for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, fully supplied my needs” (similar to NASB).

[11:9]  ³ tn Grk “needs, and I kept.” A new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:1]  ⁴ tc Although usually δέ (de, “now”; found in א A C D¹ F G Ψ 0285 Ï lat) should take precedent over γάρ (gar) in textually disputed places in the corpus Paulinum, the credentials for γάρ here are not easily dismissed (Ì⁴⁶ B 0223 0243 33 1739 1881 al); here it is the preferred reading, albeit slightly.

[2:1]  ⁵ tn Or “I decided this for myself.”

[2:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “not to come to you again in sorrow.”

[2:1]  sn Paul was not speaking absolutely about not making another visit, but meant he did not want to come to the Corinthians again until the conflict he mentioned in 2 Cor 2:4-11 was settled.
