2 Korintus 3:9

3:9 For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, ¹  how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness ²  excel ³  in glory!

2 Korintus 11:27

11:27 in hard work and toil, ⁴  through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing. ⁵ 

[3:9]  ¹ tn Grk “the ministry of condemnation”; translated as an objective genitive, “the ministry that produced condemnation.”

[3:9]  ² tn Grk “the ministry of righteousness”; translated as an objective genitive, “the ministry that produces righteousness.”

[3:9]  ³ tn Traditionally, “abound.”

[11:27]  ⁴ tn The two different words for labor are translated “in hard work and toil” by L&N 42.48.

[11:27]  ⁵ 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.
