2 Corinthians 4:8

4:8 We are experiencing trouble on every side, ¹  but are not crushed; we are perplexed, ²  but not driven to despair;

Romans 8:35-36

8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ³  8:36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” ⁴ 

Romans 8:1

8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ⁵ 

Romans 3:7

3:7 For if by my lie the truth of God enhances ⁶  his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?

[4:8]  ¹ tn Grk “we are hard pressed [by crowds] on every side.”

[4:8]  ² tn Or “at a loss.”

[8:35]  ³ tn Here “sword” is a metonymy that includes both threats of violence and acts of violence, even including death (although death is not necessarily the only thing in view here).

[8:36]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 44:22.

[8:1]  ⁵ tc The earliest and best witnesses of the Alexandrian and Western texts, as well as a few others (א* B D* F G 6 1506 1739 1881 pc co), have no additional words for v. 1. Later scribes (A D¹ Ψ 81 365 629 pc vg) added the words μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν (mh kata sarka peripatousin, “who do not walk according to the flesh”), while even later ones (א² D² 33^vid Ï) added ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα (alla kata pneuma, “but [who do walk] according to the Spirit”). Both the external evidence and the internal evidence are compelling for the shortest reading. The scribes were evidently motivated to add such qualifications (interpolated from v. 4) to insulate Paul’s gospel from charges that it was characterized too much by grace. The KJV follows the longest reading found in Ï.

[3:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “abounded unto.”
