2 Korintus 13:10
Konteks13:10 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive 6 I may not have to deal harshly with you 7 by using my authority – the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!
[9:2] 1 tn The words “to help” are not in the Greek text but are implied.
[9:2] 2 tn Grk “concerning which I keep boasting to the Macedonians about you.” A new sentence was started here and the translation was simplified by removing the relative clause and repeating the antecedent “this eagerness of yours.”
[9:2] 3 tn The words “to give” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
[9:2] 4 tn The words “to participate” are not in the Greek text but are implied.
[9:2] 5 sn Most of them is a reference to the Macedonians (cf. v. 4).
[13:10] 6 tn Grk “when I am present,” but in the context of Paul’s third (upcoming) visit to Corinth, this is better translated as “when I arrive.”
[13:10] 7 tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
