NET Notes: 2Co 7:1

¹ tn Or “purify ourselves.”

² tn Grk “from every defilement of the flesh.”

³ tn Grk “accomplishing.” The participle has been translated as a finite verb due to considerations of contemporary English style, and “thus” has been supplied to indicate that it represents a result of the previous cleansing.

⁴ tn Grk “in the fear of God.”
