2 Korintus 6:4

6:4 But as God’s servants, ¹  we have commended ourselves in every way, ²  with great endurance, in persecutions, ³  in difficulties, in distresses,

2 Korintus 6:7

6:7 by truthful ⁴  teaching, ⁵  by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left, ⁶ 

[6:4]  ¹ tn Or “ministers.”

[6:4]  ² tn Or “we have commended ourselves by all things.”

[6:4]  ³ tn Or “in trouble and suffering.”

[6:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “by the word of truth”; understanding ἀληθείας (alhqeias) as an attributive genitive (“truthful word”).

[6:7]  ⁵ tn Or “speech.” In this context it is more likely that λόγος (logos) refers to Paul’s message (thus “teaching”) than to his speech in general.

[6:7]  ⁶ tn The phrase “for the right hand and for the left” possibly refers to a combination of an offensive weapon (a sword for the right hand) and a defensive weapon (a shield for the left).
