2 Corinthians 11:9
11:9 When 1 I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs. 2 I 3 kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
2 Corinthians 11:12
11:12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may eliminate any opportunity for those who want a chance to be regarded as our equals 4 in the things they boast about.
1 tn Grk “you, and when.” A new sentence was started here in the translation.
2 tn If the participle ἐλθόντες (elqonte") is taken as temporal rather than adjectival, the translation would be, “for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, fully supplied my needs” (similar to NASB).
3 tn Grk “needs, and I kept.” A new sentence was started here in the translation.
4 tn Grk “an opportunity, so that they may be found just like us.”
