¹ tn The first clause of 2 Cor 4:10 is elliptical and apparently refers to the fact that Paul was constantly in danger of dying in the same way Jesus died (by violence at least). According to L&N 23.99 it could be translated, “at all times we live in the constant threat of being killed as Jesus was.”

² tn Or “may also be revealed.”

³ tn Or “do not lose heart.”

⁴ tn Grk “our outer man.”

⁵ tn Grk “our inner [man].”
