2 Korintus 4:10

4:10 always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, ¹  so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible ²  in our body.

2 Korintus 6:4-5

6:4 But as God’s servants, ³  we have commended ourselves in every way, ⁴  with great endurance, in persecutions, ⁵  in difficulties, in distresses, 6:5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, ⁶  in troubles, ⁷  in sleepless nights, in hunger,

[4:10]  ¹ tn The first clause of 2 Cor 4:10 is elliptical and apparently refers to the fact that Paul was constantly in danger of dying in the same way Jesus died (by violence at least). According to L&N 23.99 it could be translated, “at all times we live in the constant threat of being killed as Jesus was.”

[4:10]  ² tn Or “may also be revealed.”

[6:4]  ³ tn Or “ministers.”

[6:4]  ⁴ tn Or “we have commended ourselves by all things.”

[6:4]  ⁵ tn Or “in trouble and suffering.”

[6:5]  ⁶ tn Or “rebellions” (uprisings in open defiance of civil authority).

[6:5]  ⁷ tn Usually κόποις (kopois) has been translated as “labors” or “hard work,” but see Matt 26:10 where it means “trouble”; “distress” (L&N 22.7). In this context with so many other terms denoting suffering and difficulty, such a meaning is preferable.
