2 Korintus 8:11

Final Exhortations and Greetings

13:11 Finally, brothers and sisters, ¹³  rejoice, set things right, be encouraged, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

[8:11]  ¹ tn Grk “and now also complete the doing.”

[8:11]  ² tn Grk “just as the eagerness to want [it].”

[8:11]  ³ tn Grk “so also it might be completed.” The passive construction was converted to an active one in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style.

[8:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “completed from what you have.”

[8:17]  ⁵ tn The comparative form of this adjective is used here with elative meaning.

[8:17]  ⁶ tn This verb has been translated as an epistolary aorist.

[8:17]  ⁷ tn Or “of his own free will.”

[8:24]  ⁸ tc The sense of this translation is attested by the fact that most of the later mss, along with several early and important ones (א C D² Ψ 0225 0243 1739 1881 Ï lat), have the imperative verb ἐνδείξασθε (ejndeixasqe) in place of the participle ἐνδεικνύμενοι (endeiknumenoi), which is found in B D* F G 33 pc. Since an imperatival participle is more Hebraic in style, many scribes would not have understood the idiom as easily and would have been likely to change the participle to an imperative (so TCGNT 513-14). But there is no good reason why scribes would change the imperative into a participle. Thus, ἐνδεικνύμενοι is almost surely the wording of the original text.

[8:24]  tn In the Greek text ἐνδεικνύμενοι (endeiknumenoi) is a present participle which is translated as an imperative verb (see BDF §468; ExSyn 650-52).

[8:24]  ⁹ tn Or “our boasting about you.”

[11:7]  ¹⁰ sn Paul is referring to humbling himself to the point of doing manual labor to support himself.

[11:7]  ¹¹ tn Or “preached.”

[12:13]  ¹² tn Grk “For in what respect.”

[13:11]  ¹³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:8.
