[6:17]  ² tn Or “will receive.”

[6:17]  ³ sn A paraphrased quotation from Ezek 20:41.

[7:4]  ¹ tn Grk “great is my boasting.”

[7:4]  ² tn Or “comfort.”

[7:4]  ³ tn Grk “I am overflowing with joy in all our suffering”; the words “in the midst of” are not in the Greek text but are supplied to clarify that Paul is not rejoicing in the suffering itself, but in his relationship with the Corinthians in the midst of all his suffering.

[7:15]  ¹ tn Or “is all the more.”

[8:9]  ¹ tn Or “generosity.”

[8:22]  ¹ tn This verb has been translated as an epistolary aorist.

[9:4]  ¹ tn Or “be disgraced”; Grk “be put to shame.”

[9:4]  ² tn Grk “by this confidence”; the words “we had in you” are not in the Greek text, but are supplied as a necessary clarification for the English reader.

[9:8]  ¹ tn Or “abound.”

[9:8]  ³ tn Or “abound.”

[10:14]  ¹ tn Grk “with the gospel of Christ,” but since Χριστοῦ (Cristou) is clearly an objective genitive here, it is better to translate “with the gospel about Christ.”

[12:18]  ¹ tn The words “to visit you” are not in the Greek text but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, and must be supplied for the modern reader.

[12:18]  ² tn Grk “the.”

[12:18]  ³ tn The Greek construction anticipates a negative answer, indicated by the ‘tag’ question “did he?” at the end of the clause.

[12:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “[Did we not walk] in the same tracks?” This is an idiom that means to imitate someone else or to behave as they do. Paul’s point is that he and Titus have conducted themselves in the same way toward the Corinthians. If Titus did not take advantage of the Corinthians, then neither did Paul.

[13:3]  ¹ tn Grk “who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
