2 Corinthians 7:2

7:2 Make room for us in your hearts; ¹  we have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, ²  we have exploited no one. ³ 

2 Corinthians 5:16

5:16 So then from now on we acknowledge ⁴  no one from an outward human point of view. ⁵  Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, ⁶  now we do not know him in that way any longer.

[7:2]  ¹ tn The phrase “in your hearts” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[7:2]  ² tn “We have ruined no one” may refer to financial loss (“we have caused no one to suffer financial loss”) but it may also refer to the undermining of faith (“we have corrupted no one’s faith,”). Both options are mentioned in L&N 20.23.

[7:2]  ³ tn Or “we have taken advantage of no one.”

[5:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “we know.”

[5:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “no one according to the flesh.”

[5:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “we have known Christ according to the flesh.”
