[1:4]  ¹ tn Or “our trials”; traditionally, “our affliction.” The term θλῖψις (qliyi") refers to trouble (including persecution) that involves direct suffering (L&N 22.2).

[1:4]  ² tn Or “any trials”; traditionally, “any affliction.”

[3:5]  ³ tn Or “competent.”

[3:5]  ⁴ tn Or “competence.”

[7:13]  ⁵ tn Or “all of you have put his mind at ease.”

[8:2]  ⁶ tn Or “riches.”

[8:24]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Or “our boasting about you.”

[9:10]  ⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:11]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “what we are in word.”

[11:27]  ¹¹ tn The two different words for labor are translated “in hard work and toil” by L&N 42.48.

[11:27]  ¹² tn Grk “in cold and nakedness.” Paul does not mean complete nakedness, however, which would have been repugnant to a Jew; he refers instead to the lack of sufficient clothing, especially in cold weather. A related word is used to 1 Cor 4:11, also in combination with experiencing hunger and thirst.
