2 Corinthians 11:4
Context11:4 For if someone comes and proclaims 1 another Jesus different from the one we proclaimed, 2 or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received, 3 or a different gospel than the one you accepted, 4 you put up with it well enough! 5
2 Corinthians 12:14
Context12:14 Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, because I do not want your possessions, but you. For children should not have 6 to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
2 Corinthians 13:10
Context13:10 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive 7 I may not have to deal harshly with you 8 by using my authority – the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!
1 tn Or “preaches.”
2 tn Grk “another Jesus whom we have not proclaimed.”
3 tn Grk “a different spirit which you did not receive.”
4 tn Grk “a different gospel which you did not accept.”
5 tn Or “you endure it very well.”
6 tn Grk “children ought not,” but this might give the impression that children are not supposed to support sick or aging parents in need of help. That is not what Paul is saying. His point is that children should not have to pay their parent’s way.
7 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.”
8 tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
