2 Corinthians 1:11

Context
1:11 as you also join in helping us by prayer, so that many people may give thanks to God 1  on our behalf for the gracious gift given to us through the help of many.

2 Corinthians 2:14

Context
Apostolic Ministry

2:14 But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession 2  in Christ 3  and who makes known 4  through us the fragrance that consists of the knowledge of him in every place.

2 Corinthians 4:14

Context
4:14 We do so 5  because we know that the one who raised up Jesus 6  will also raise us up with Jesus and will bring us with you into his presence.

1 tn Grk “so that thanks may be given by many.” The words “to God” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. The passive construction has been converted to an active one for clarity, in keeping with contemporary English style.

2 tn Or “who always causes us to triumph.”

3 tn Or “in the Messiah.”

4 tn Or “who reveals.”

5 tn Grk “speak, because.” A new sentence was started here in the translation, with the words “We do so” supplied to preserve the connection with the preceding statement.

6 tc ‡ Several important witnesses (א C D F G Ψ 1881), as well as the Byzantine text, add κύριον (kurion) here, changing the reading to “the Lord Jesus.” Although the external evidence in favor of the shorter reading is slim, the witnesses are important, early, and diverse (Ì46 B [0243 33] 629 [630] 1175* [1739] pc r sa). Very likely scribes with pietistic motives added the word κύριον, as they were prone to do, thus compounding this title for the Lord.
