2 Corinthians 3:18

2 Corinthians 5:7

¹ tn Or “we all with unveiled faces beholding the glory of the Lord as in a mirror.”

² tn Grk “from glory to glory.”

³ tn Grk “just as from.”

⁴ tn Grk “from the Lord, the Spirit”; the genitive πνεύματος (pneumato") has been translated as a genitive of apposition.

⁵ tn Grk “we walk.”

⁶ tn Grk “that for which I also was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.” The passive has been translated as active in keeping with contemporary English style.

⁷ tn The word for “man” or “individual” is ἀνήρ (anhr), which often means “male” or “man (as opposed to woman).” However, as BDAG 79 s.v. 2 says, here it is “equivalent to τὶς someone, a person.”

⁸ tn Grk “the face of his beginning [or origin].”
