2 Corinthians 1:16

1:16 and through your help to go on into Macedonia and then from Macedonia to come back ¹  to you and be helped on our way into Judea by you.

2 Corinthians 6:9

6:9 as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet – see! – we continue to live; as those who are scourged ²  and yet not executed;

2 Corinthians 6:18

6:18 and I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” ³  says the All-Powerful Lord. ⁴ 

2 Corinthians 9:6

9:6 My point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously ⁵  will also reap generously.

2 Corinthians 11:27

11:27 in hard work and toil, ⁶  through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing. ⁷ 

¹ tn Grk “come again.”

² tn Grk “disciplined,” but in this context probably a reference to scourging prior to execution (yet the execution is not carried out).

³ sn A paraphrased quotation from 2 Sam 7:14 and Isa 43:6.

⁴ tn Traditionally, “the Lord Almighty.” BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…κύριος π. (oft. LXX) 2 Cor 6:18.”

⁴ tn Or “bountifully”; so also in the next occurrence in the verse.

⁵ tn The two different words for labor are translated “in hard work and toil” by L&N 42.48.

⁶ tn Grk “in cold and nakedness.” Paul does not mean complete nakedness, however, which would have been repugnant to a Jew; he refers instead to the lack of sufficient clothing, especially in cold weather. A related word is used to 1 Cor 4:11, also in combination with experiencing hunger and thirst.
