2 Corinthians 7:14

Context
7:14 For if I have boasted to him about anything concerning you, I have not been embarrassed by you, 1  but just as everything we said to you was true, 2  so our boasting to Titus about you 3  has proved true as well.

2 Corinthians 9:3

Context
9:3 But I am sending 4  these brothers so that our boasting about you may not be empty in this case, so that you may be ready 5  just as I kept telling them.

2 Corinthians 10:7

Context
10:7 You are looking at outward appearances. 6  If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should reflect on this again: Just as he himself belongs to Christ, so too do we.

1 tn Grk “I have not been put to shame”; the words “by you” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

2 tn Grk “just as we spoke everything to you in truth.”

3 tn The words “about you” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

4 tn This verb has been translated as an epistolary aorist.

5 tn That is, ready with the collection for the saints.

6 tn The phrase is close to a recognized idiom for judging based on outward appearances (L&N 30.120). Some translators see a distinction, however, and translate 2 Cor 10:7a as “Look at what is in front of your eyes,” that is, the obvious facts of the case (so NRSV).
