Paul’s Authority from the Lord

10:1 Now I, Paul, appeal to you ⁶  personally ⁷  by the meekness and gentleness ⁸  of Christ (I who am meek ⁹  when present among ¹⁰  you, but am full of courage ¹¹  toward you when away!) –

[4:11]  ¹ tn Or “may also be revealed.”

[4:11]  ² tn Grk “mortal flesh.”

[8:23]  ³ tn Grk “If concerning Titus” (εἴτε ὑπὲρ Τίτου, eite Juper Titou); the Greek sentence opens with an ellipsis which must be supplied: If [there is any question] about Titus.”

[8:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “apostles.”

[9:12]  ⁵ tn Or “not only supplying.”

[10:1]  ⁶ tn The Greek pronoun (“you”) is plural.

[10:1]  ⁷ tn The word “personally” is supplied to reflect the force of the Greek intensive pronoun αὐτός (autos) at the beginning of the verse.

[10:1]  ⁸ tn Or “leniency and clemency.” D. Walker, “Paul’s Offer of Leniency of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:1): Populist Ideology and Rhetoric in a Pauline Letter Fragment (2 Cor 10:1-13:10)” (Ph.D. diss., University of Chicago, 1998), argues for this alternative translation for three main reasons: (1) When the two Greek nouns πραΰτης and ἐπιείκεια (prauth" and ejpieikeia) are used together, 90% of the time the nuance is “leniency and clemency.” (2) “Leniency and clemency” has a military connotation, which is precisely what appears in the following verses. (3) 2 Cor 10-13 speaks of Paul’s sparing use of his authority, which points to the nuance of “leniency and clemency.”

[10:1]  ⁹ tn Or “who lack confidence.”

[10:1]  ¹⁰ tn Or “when face to face with.”

[10:1]  ¹¹ tn Or “but bold.”
