2 Korintus 2:14

Apostolic Ministry

2:14 But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession ¹  in Christ ²  and who makes known ³  through us the fragrance that consists of the knowledge of him in every place.

2 Korintus 5:20

5:20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His plea ⁴  through us. We plead with you ⁵  on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God!”

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 10:11

10:11 Let such a person consider this: What we say ⁸  by letters when we are absent, we also are in actions when we are present.

[2:14]  ¹ tn Or “who always causes us to triumph.”

[2:14]  ² tn Or “in the Messiah.”

[2:14]  ³ tn Or “who reveals.”

[5:20]  ⁴ tn Or “as though God were begging.”

[5:20]  ⁵ tn Or “we beg you.”

[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.”

[10:11]  ⁸ tn Grk “what we are in word.”
