2 Corinthians 13:9
_ _ are glad — Greek, “rejoice.”
_ _ when we are weak — having no occasion for displaying our power; and so seeming “weak,” as being compassed with “infirmities” (2 Corinthians 10:10; 2 Corinthians 11:29, 2 Corinthians 11:30).
_ _ ye ... strong — “mighty” in faith and the fruits of the Spirit.
_ _ and — not in the oldest manuscripts.
_ _ we wish — Greek, “pray for.”
_ _ your perfection — literally, “perfect restoration”; literally, that of a dislocated limb. Compare 2 Corinthians 13:11, “Be perfect,” the same Greek word; also in 1 Corinthians 1:10, “perfectly joined together”; Ephesians 4:12, “the perfecting of the saints.” |
