2 Korintus 2:13

2:13 I had no relief in my spirit, ¹  because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said good-bye to them ²  and set out ³  for Macedonia.

2 Korintus 9:3

9:3 But I am sending ⁴  these brothers so that our boasting about you may not be empty in this case, so that you may be ready ⁵  just as I kept telling them.

2 Korintus 10:5

10:5 and every arrogant obstacle ⁶  that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey ⁷  Christ.

2 Korintus 11:33

11:33 but I was let down in a rope-basket ⁸  through a window in the city wall, and escaped his hands.

[2:13]  ¹ tn Or “I had no peace of mind.”

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

[2:13]  ³ tn Since this refers to the outset of a journey, the aorist ἐξῆλθον (exhlqon) is taken ingressively.

[9:3]  ⁴ tn This verb has been translated as an epistolary aorist.

[9:3]  ⁵ tn That is, ready with the collection for the saints.

[10:5]  ⁶ tn The phrase “every arrogant obstacle” could be translated simply “all arrogance” (so L&N 88.207).

[10:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “to the obedience of Christ”; but since Χριστοῦ (Cristou) is clearly an objective genitive here, it is better to translate “to make it obey Christ.”

[11:33]  ⁸ tn In Acts 9:25 the same basket used in Paul’s escape is called a σπυρίς (spuri"), a basket larger than a κόφινος (kofinos). It was very likely made out of rope, so the translation “rope-basket” is used.
