NETBible

Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord,¹ we try to persuade² people,³ but we are well known⁴ to God, and I hope we are well known to your consciences too.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “because we know what it means to fear the Lord.”

²tn The present tense of πείθομεν (peiqomen) has been translated as a conative present.

³tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is generic here since clearly both men and women are in view (Paul did not attempt to win only men to the gospel he preached).

⁴tn Or “clearly evident.” BDAG 1048 s.v. φανερόω 2.b.β has “θεῷ πεφανερώμεθα we are well known to God 2 Cor 5:11a, cp. 11b; 11:6 v.l.”
