2 Corinthians 5:5

Context
5:5 Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose 1  is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment. 2 

2 Corinthians 11:33

Context
11:33 but I was let down in a rope-basket 3  through a window in the city wall, and escaped his hands.

1 tn Grk “for this very thing.”

2 tn Or “first installment,” “pledge,” “deposit” (see the note on the phrase “down payment” in 1:22).

3 tn In Acts 9:25 the same basket used in Paul’s escape is called a σπυρίς (spuri"), a basket larger than a κόφινος (kofinos). It was very likely made out of rope, so the translation “rope-basket” is used.
