1. 2 Corinthians 12:6 tn Or “speaking.”
2. 2 Corinthians 12:6 tn Or “may think of.”
3. 2 Corinthians 12:7 tc Most mss (P⁴⁶ D Ψ 1881 M) lack διό (dio, “Therefore”), but the widespread distribution and quality of mss which include it (א A B F G 0243 33 81 1175 1739) argues for its authenticity. Internally, its case is equally strong in that its inclusion is grammatically rough (διό is hardly necessary to convey purpose, especially since Paul uses ἵνα [hina, “so that”] next).
4. 2 Corinthians 12:7 tn Or “to harass.”
5. 2 Corinthians 12:7 tn The phrase “so that I might not become arrogant” is repeated here because it occurs in the Greek text two times in the verse. Although redundant, it is repeated because of the emphatic nature of its affirmation.
6. 2 Corinthians 12:9 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” because of the contrast implicit in the context.
7. 2 Corinthians 12:9 tn Or “is sufficient.”
8. 2 Corinthians 12:9 tc The majority of later mss (א² A^c D¹ Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 M) as well as some versional witnesses include the pronoun “my” here, but the omission of the pronoun has excellent external support (P^46vid א* A* B D* F G latt). Scribes probably added the pronoun for clarity, making the obvious referent explicit. This would also make “power” more parallel with “my grace.” Though the original text probably did not include “my,” scribes who added the word were following the sense of Paul’s statement.tn The pronoun “my” was supplied in the translation to clarify the sense of Paul’s expression.
9. 2 Corinthians 12:9 tn Or “my power comes to full strength.”
10. 2 Corinthians 12:9 tn “Most gladly,” a comparative form used with superlative meaning and translated as such.
11. 2 Corinthians 12:9 tn Or “may rest on.”
12. 2 Corinthians 12:10 tn Or “I take delight in.”
13. 2 Corinthians 12:10 tn Or “calamities.”
