2 Corinthians 11:28

11:28 Apart from other things, ¹  there is the daily pressure on me of my anxious concern ²  for all the churches.

2 Corinthians 8:18

8:18 And we are sending ³  along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in spreading the gospel. ⁴ 

2 Corinthians 8:23-24

8:23 If there is any question ⁵  about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; if there is any question about our brothers, they are messengers ⁶  of the churches, a glory to Christ. 8:24 Therefore show ⁷  them openly before the churches the proof of your love and of our pride in you. ⁸ 

2 Corinthians 8:19

8:19 In addition, ⁹  this brother ¹⁰  has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift ¹¹  to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help. ¹² 

¹ sn Apart from other things. Paul refers here either (1) to the external sufferings just mentioned, or (2) he refers to other things he has left unmentioned.

² tn “Anxious concern,” so translated in L&N 25.224.

³ tn This verb has been translated as an epistolary aorist.

⁴ tn Grk “the brother of whom the praise in the gospel [is] throughout all the churches.”

⁵ tn Grk “If concerning Titus” (εἴτε ὑπὲρ Τίτου, eite Juper Titou); the Greek sentence opens with an ellipsis which must be supplied: If [there is any question] about Titus.”

⁶ tn Grk “apostles.”

⁷ tc The sense of this translation is attested by the fact that most of the later mss, along with several early and important ones (א C D² Ψ 0225 0243 1739 1881 Ï lat), have the imperative verb ἐνδείξασθε (ejndeixasqe) in place of the participle ἐνδεικνύμενοι (endeiknumenoi), which is found in B D* F G 33 pc. Since an imperatival participle is more Hebraic in style, many scribes would not have understood the idiom as easily and would have been likely to change the participle to an imperative (so TCGNT 513-14). But there is no good reason why scribes would change the imperative into a participle. Thus, ἐνδεικνύμενοι is almost surely the wording of the original text.

⁸ tn Or “our boasting about you.”

⁹ tn Grk “gospel, and not only this, but.” Here a new sentence was started in the translation.

¹⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the brother mentioned in v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹¹ tn That is, the offering or collection being taken to assist impoverished Christians.

¹² tn The words “to help” are not in the Greek text but are implied (see L&N 25.68).
