2 Korintus 8:13

8:13 For I do not say this so there would be relief for others and suffering for you, but as a matter of equality.

2 Korintus 8:20

8:20 We did this ¹  as a precaution so that no one should blame us in regard to this generous gift we are administering.

[8:20]  ¹ tn “This” refers to sending the brother mentioned in 2 Cor 8:18 to Corinth along with Titus. The words “We did this” have no equivalent in the Greek text, but are necessary to maintain the thought flow in English. The Greek participle that begins v. 20 continues the sentence begun in v. 18 which concerns the sending of the other brother mentioned there.
