2 Corinthians 9:2

9:2 because I know your eagerness to help. ¹  I keep boasting to the Macedonians about this eagerness of yours, ²  that Achaia has been ready to give ³  since last year, and your zeal to participate ⁴  has stirred up most of them. ⁵ 

2 Corinthians 12:20

12:20 For I am afraid that somehow when I come I will not find you what I wish, and you will find me ⁶  not what you wish. I am afraid that ⁷  somehow there may be quarreling, jealousy, intense anger, selfish ambition, ⁸  slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

[9:2]  ¹ tn The words “to help” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[9:2]  ² tn Grk “concerning which I keep boasting to the Macedonians about you.” A new sentence was started here and the translation was simplified by removing the relative clause and repeating the antecedent “this eagerness of yours.”

[9:2]  ³ tn The words “to give” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[9:2]  ⁴ tn The words “to participate” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[9:2]  ⁵ sn Most of them is a reference to the Macedonians (cf. v. 4).

[12:20]  ⁶ tn Grk “and I will be found by you.” The passive construction has been converted to an active one in the translation.

[12:20]  ⁷ tn The words “I am afraid that” are not repeated in the Greek text, but are needed for clarity.

[12:20]  ⁸ tn Or “intense anger, hostility.”
