2 Korintus 6:7

6:7 by truthful ³  teaching, ⁴  by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left, ⁵ 

[4:12]  ¹ tn Or “So then.”

[4:12]  ² tn Grk “death is at work in us, but life in you”; the phrase “is at work in” is repeated in the translation for clarity.

[6:7]  ³ tn Grk “by the word of truth”; understanding ἀληθείας (alhqeias) as an attributive genitive (“truthful word”).

[6:7]  ⁴ tn Or “speech.” In this context it is more likely that λόγος (logos) refers to Paul’s message (thus “teaching”) than to his speech in general.

[6:7]  ⁵ tn The phrase “for the right hand and for the left” possibly refers to a combination of an offensive weapon (a sword for the right hand) and a defensive weapon (a shield for the left).
