2 Corinthians 2:5

2:5 But if anyone has caused sadness, he has not saddened me alone, but to some extent (not to exaggerate) ¹  he has saddened all of you as well.

2 Corinthians 6:14

Unequal Partners

6:14 Do not become partners ²  with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

2 Corinthians 8:12

8:12 For if the eagerness is present, the gift itself ³  is acceptable according to whatever one has, not according to what he does not have.

2 Corinthians 8:15

8:15 as it is written: “The one who gathered ⁴  much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.” ⁵

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

² tn Or “Do not be mismatched.”

³ tn The words “the gift itself” are not in the Greek text but are implied. Translators often supply an English phrase like “it is” (NASB) but in the context, Paul is clearly referring to the collection Titus was to oversee (2 Cor 8:4-7). Therefore there is no reason not to specify the referent (the gift) more narrowly for clarity.

⁴ tn The word “gathered” is not in the Greek text, but is implied (so also for the second occurrence of the word later in the verse).

⁵ sn A quotation from Exod 16:18.
