2 Korintus 3:1

A Living Letter

3:1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? We don’t need letters of recommendation to you or from you as some other people do, do we? ¹ 

2 Korintus 9:8

9:8 And God is able to make all grace overflow ²  to you so that because you have enough ³  of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow ⁴  in every good work.

2 Korintus 9:14

9:14 And in their prayers on your behalf they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you. ⁵ 

[3:1]  ¹ tn The Greek construction anticipates a negative reply (“No, we do not”) which is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ at the end, “do we?”

[9:8]  ² tn Or “abound.”

[9:8]  ³ tn Or “so that by having enough.” The Greek participle can be translated as a participle of cause (“because you have enough”) or means (“by having enough”).

[9:8]  ⁴ tn Or “abound.”

[9:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “the extraordinary grace of God to you”; the point is that God has given or shown grace to the Corinthians.
