2 Korintus 12:16

12:16 But be that as it may, I have not burdened you. Yet because I was a crafty person, I took you in by deceit!

[2:5]  ¹ tn Or “(not to say too much)”; Grk “(not to burden you [with words]).”

[6:4]  ² tn Or “ministers.”

[6:4]  ³ tn Or “we have commended ourselves by all things.”

[6:4]  ⁴ tn Or “in trouble and suffering.”

[8:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “by means of the eagerness of others.”

[10:8]  ⁶ tn The word “us” is not in the Greek text but is supplied. Indirect objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context, and must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[10:8]  ⁷ tn Grk “I will not be put to shame,” “I will not be ashamed.” The words “of doing so” are supplied to clarify for the reader that Paul will not be ashamed of boasting somewhat more about the authority the Lord gave him (beginning of v. 8).

[10:11]  ⁸ tn Grk “what we are in word.”

[10:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “with the gospel of Christ,” but since Χριστοῦ (Cristou) is clearly an objective genitive here, it is better to translate “with the gospel about Christ.”

[11:29]  ¹⁰ tn Or “who is caused to stumble.”
