Footnotes
- 30 Grk “gospel, and not only this, but.” Here a new sentence was started in the translation.
- 31 Grk “he”; the referent (the brother mentioned in v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 32 That is, the offering or collection being taken to assist impoverished Christians.
- 33 The words “to help” are not in the Greek text but are implied (see L&N 25.68).
- 34 “This” refers to sending the brother mentioned in 2 Cor 8:18 to Corinth along with Titus. The words “We did this” have no equivalent in the Greek text, but are necessary to maintain the thought flow in English. The Greek participle that begins v. 20 continues the sentence begun in v. 18 which concerns the sending of the other brother mentioned there.
