2 Corinthians 2:4

Context
2:4 For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not to make you sad, but to let you know the love that I have especially for you. 1 

2 Corinthians 9:7

Context
9:7 Each one of you should give 2  just as he has decided in his heart, 3  not reluctantly 4  or under compulsion, 5  because God loves a cheerful giver.

1 tn Or “the love that I have in great measure for you.”

2 tn Or “must do.” The words “of you” and “should give” are not in the Greek text, which literally reads, “Each one just as he has decided in his heart.” The missing words are an ellipsis; these or similar phrases must be supplied for the English reader.

3 tn Or “in his mind.”

4 tn Or “not from regret”; Grk “not out of grief.”

5 tn Or “not out of a sense of duty”; Grk “from necessity.”
