2 Corinthians 6:3

We do not give anyone ¹  an occasion for taking an offense in anything, ²  so that no fault may be found with our ministry.

Mt 17:27; Mt 18:6; Ro 14:13; 1Co 8:9-13; 1Co 9:12,22; 1Co 10:23,24,32,33; 2Co 1:12; 2Co 8:20

¹ tn The word “anyone” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context.

² tn Other interpretations of the first part of 2 Cor 6:3 are possible. The phrase could also mean, “not putting an obstacle in the way of anyone” (L&N 22.14), or “giving no one in anything a cause to sin” (L&N 88.307).
