[5:4]  ¹ sn See the note in 5:1 on the phrase the tent we live in.

[5:4]  ² tn Or “we are burdened.”

[7:7]  ³ tn Because of the length and complexity of this Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the phrase “We were encouraged.”

[7:7]  ⁴ tn Or “comfort,” “consolation.”

[7:7]  ⁵ tn Grk “by the encouragement with which he was encouraged by you.” The passive construction was translated as an active one in keeping with contemporary English style, and the repeated word “encouraged” was replaced in the translation by “gave” to avoid redundancy in the translation.

[7:7]  ⁶ tn Or “your grieving,” “your deep sorrow.”

[7:7]  ⁷ tn Or “your zeal.”

[7:9]  ⁸ tn Grk “were grieved” (so also twice later in the verse).

[7:9]  ⁹ tn Grk “corresponding to God,” that is, corresponding to God’s will (κατὰ θεόν, kata qeon). The same phrase occurs in vv. 10 and 11.

[7:9]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “so that you did not suffer loss.”

[9:13]  ¹¹ tn Or “proof,” or perhaps “testing” (NRSV).

[9:13]  ¹² tn Or “ministry.”

[9:13]  ¹³ tn Or “your partnership”; Grk “your fellowship.”

[10:2]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “consider us as walking.”

[10:2]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “according to the flesh.”
