2 Corinthians 11:9

11:9 When ³  I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs. ⁴  I ⁵  kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

[2:3]  ¹ tn The words “to you” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[2:3]  ² sn So that when I came. Regarding this still future visit by Paul, see 2 Cor 12:14; 13:1.

[11:9]  ³ tn Grk “you, and when.” A new sentence was started here in the translation.

[11:9]  ⁴ tn If the participle ἐλθόντες (elqonte") is taken as temporal rather than adjectival, the translation would be, “for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, fully supplied my needs” (similar to NASB).

[11:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “needs, and I kept.” A new sentence was started here in the translation.
