2 Corinthians 8:9
8:9 For you know the grace 1 of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.
2 Corinthians 13:10
13:10 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive 2 I may not have to deal harshly with you 3 by using my authority – the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!
1 tn Or “generosity.”
2 tn Grk “when I am present,” but in the context of Paul’s third (upcoming) visit to Corinth, this is better translated as “when I arrive.”
3 tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
