# 2 Corinthians 07 General Notes #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Structure and formatting ####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This chapter has a very abrupt change. In 7:2-4, Paul finishes his defense. He then talks about Titus' return and the comfort it brought.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Clean and unclean #####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Christians are "clean" in the sense that they are in a right relationship with God, and they do not need to be concerned with being clean according to the law of Moses. Ungodly living can still make a Christian unclean. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/clean]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/ungodly]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/unclean]])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Sadness and sorrow #####
|
||
|
|
Different terms for emotions can have great differences in meaning. The terms "sad" and "sorrow" in this chapter indicates that the Corinthians were upset to the point of repentance. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### We #####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is likely that Paul's usage of the pronoun "we" represents at least Timothy and himself. It is possible that it may also include other people.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Original situation #####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This chapter discusses in detail a previous situation. Although some aspects of this situation can be assumed given the information in this chapter, it is best to leave this type of implicit information untranslated. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
