2 Corinthians 13:14

13:14 [[EMPTY]] ¹⁷ 

[1:13]  ¹ tn Grk “than the things.”

[1:13]  ² tn Grk “to the end,” a Greek idiom for “fully,” “totally,” “completely.”

[1:16]  ³ tn Grk “come again.”

[1:24]  ⁵ tn Or “because you stand firm in the faith.”

[4:14]  ⁷ tn Grk “speak, because.” A new sentence was started here in the translation, with the words “We do so” supplied to preserve the connection with the preceding statement.

[4:14]  ⁸ tc ‡ Several important witnesses (א C D F G Ψ 1881), as well as the Byzantine text, add κύριον (kurion) here, changing the reading to “the Lord Jesus.” Although the external evidence in favor of the shorter reading is slim, the witnesses are important, early, and diverse (Ì⁴⁶ B [0243 33] 629 [630] 1175* [1739] pc r sa). Very likely scribes with pietistic motives added the word κύριον, as they were prone to do, thus compounding this title for the Lord.

[6:17]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Isa 52:11.

[6:17]  ¹⁰ tn Or “will receive.”

[6:17]  ¹¹ sn A paraphrased quotation from Ezek 20:41.

[7:3]  ¹¹ sn See 2 Cor 1:4-7.

[7:3]  ¹² tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[7:13]  ¹³ tn Or “all of you have put his mind at ease.”

[9:12]  ¹⁵ tn Or “not only supplying.”

[10:11]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “what we are in word.”

[12:1]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “Boasting is necessary.”

[12:15]  ²¹ tn Grk “souls.”

[13:14]  ²³ tc Most witnesses, especially later ones (א² D Ψ Ï lat sy bo), conclude this letter with ἀμήν (amhn, “amen”), while several early and important mss (Ì⁴⁶ א* A B F G 0243 6 33 630 1175 1739 1881 pc sa) lack the particle. Such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. That so many diverse witnesses lacked the word here is strong testimony to its absence for the original text of 2 Corinthians.
