2 Corinthians 8:8

8:8 I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others. ¹ 

2 Corinthians 10:3-4

10:3 For though we live ²  as human beings, ³  we do not wage war according to human standards, ⁴  10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, ⁵  but are made powerful by God ⁶  for tearing down strongholds. ⁷  We tear down arguments ⁸ 

[8:8]  ¹ tn Grk “by means of the eagerness of others.”

[10:3]  ² tn Grk “we walk.”

[10:3]  ³ tn Grk “in the flesh.”

[10:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “according to the flesh.”

[10:4]  ³ tn Grk “are not fleshly [weapons].” The repetition of the word “warfare” does not occur in the Greek text, but is supplied for clarity.

[10:4]  ⁴ tn Or “but (are) divinely powerful,” “but they have divine power,” or “but are powerful for God’s [service]”; Grk “but are powerful to God.”

[10:4]  ⁵ sn Ultimately Paul is referring here to the false arguments of his opponents, calling them figuratively “strongholds.” This Greek word (ὀχύρωμα, ocurwma) is used only here in the NT.

[10:4]  ⁶ tn Or “speculations.”
