29 Grk “to the end,” a Greek idiom for “fully,” “totally,” “completely.”
30 Grk “that we are your boast even as you are our boast.”
31 On the wording “the Lord Jesus” (τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, tou kuriou Iēsou) there is some variation in the extant witnesses: ἡμῶν (hēmōn, “our”) is found after κυρίου in several significant witnesses (א B F G P 0121 0243 6 33 81 1739 1881 2464 lat co); the pronoun is lacking from 𝔓46vid A C D Ψ 𝔐. Although in Paul “our Lord Jesus Christ” is a common expression, “our Lord Jesus” is relatively infrequent (cf., e.g., Rom 16:20; 2 Cor 1:14; 1 Thess 2:19; 3:11, 13; 2 Thess 1:8, 12). “The Lord Jesus” occurs about as often as “our Lord Jesus” (cf. 1 Cor 11:23; 16:23; 2 Cor 4:14; 11:31; Eph 1:15; 1 Thess 4:2; 2 Thess 1:7; Phlm 5). Thus, on balance, since scribes would tend to expand on the text, it is probably best to consider the shorter reading as authentic. places the pronoun in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.
