2 Corinthians 12:9

12:9 But ¹⁰  he said to me, “My grace is enough ¹¹  for you, for my ¹²  power is made perfect ¹³  in weakness.” So then, I will boast most gladly ¹⁴  about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in ¹⁵  me.

[9:15]  ¹ tn “Let us thank God for his gift which cannot be described with words” (L&N 33.202).

[1:2]  ² tn Grk “Grace to you and peace.”

[8:16]  ³ tn Or “eagerness.”

[2:14]  ⁴ tn Or “who always causes us to triumph.”

[2:14]  ⁵ tn Or “in the Messiah.”

[2:14]  ⁶ tn Or “who reveals.”

[4:15]  ⁵ tn Or “that is abounding to.”

[4:15]  ⁶ tn Or “to abound.”

[13:14]  ⁶ tc Most witnesses, especially later ones (א² D Ψ Ï lat sy bo), conclude this letter with ἀμήν (amhn, “amen”), while several early and important mss (Ì⁴⁶ א* A B F G 0243 6 33 630 1175 1739 1881 pc sa) lack the particle. Such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. That so many diverse witnesses lacked the word here is strong testimony to its absence for the original text of 2 Corinthians.

[12:9]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” because of the contrast implicit in the context.

[12:9]  ⁸ tn Or “is sufficient.”

[12:9]  ⁹ tc The majority of later mss (א² A^c D¹ Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 Ï) as well as some versional witnesses include the pronoun “my” here, but the omission of the pronoun has excellent external support (Ì^46vid א* A* B D* F G latt). Scribes probably added the pronoun for clarity, making the obvious referent explicit. This would also make “power” more parallel with “my grace.” Though the original text probably did not include “my,” scribes who added the word were following the sense of Paul’s statement.

[12:9]  ¹⁰ tn Or “my power comes to full strength.”

[12:9]  ¹¹ tn “Most gladly,” a comparative form used with superlative meaning and translated as such.

[12:9]  ¹² tn Or “may rest on.”
