2 Korintus 11:5

11:5 For I consider myself not at all inferior to those “super-apostles.” ¹ 

2 Korintus 11:13

11:13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful ²  workers, disguising themselves ³  as apostles of Christ.

[11:5]  ¹ tn The implicit irony in Paul’s remark is brought out well by the TEV: “I do not think that I am the least bit inferior to those very special so-called ‘apostles’ of yours!”

[11:5]  sn The ‘super-apostles’ refers either (1) to the original apostles (the older interpretation) or (2) more probably, to Paul’s opponents in Corinth, in which case the designation is ironic.

[11:13]  ² tn Or “dishonest.”

[11:13]  ³ tn Or “workers, masquerading.”
