606 NTLet, 2Cor 1: 23(13)| Corinth: some suppose that Paul received word of some affair
607 NTLet, 2Cor 1: 23(13)| These clusters reappear when Paul resumes treatment of this

613 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 14(5) | 10) treats the nature of Paul's ministry and his qualifications
614 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 14(6) | 14-6:10] The question of Paul's adequacy (2 Cor 2:16;
615 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 14(6) | 3:1-2) has been raised. Paul responds by an extended
616 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 14(7) | another train of thought. Paul describes his personal existence
617 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 14(8) | Cor 4:8-11; 1 Cor 4:9). Paul is probably aware of the
618 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 14(9) | shifts from the fragrance Paul diffuses to the aroma that
619 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 14(9) | to the aroma that he is. Paul is probably thinking of
620 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 14(9) | that comes to them through Paul is perceived differently
621 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 16(10)| 16b-17] Qualified: Paul may be echoing either the
622 NTLet, 2Cor 2: 16(10)| preachers or their charges about Paul's deficiencies. No one is

624 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 1(1) | performed this function for Paul (2 Cor 5:12; cf 2 Cor 12:
625 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 2(2) | series of metaphors in which Paul plays on the word "letter": (
626 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 2(2) | letter": (1) the community is Paul's letter of recommendation (

631 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 7(6) | 3:7-4:6] Paul now develops the contrast
632 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 7(6) | comparable glory either in Paul's life as an apostle or
633 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 7(7) | from his very first words, Paul describes the Mosaic covenant
634 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 7(7) | the basic text to which Paul alludes is Exodus 34:29-
635 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 7(7) | laid claim. Going to fade: Paul concedes the glory of Moses'
636 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 12(9) | but that does not lessen Paul's confidence. Boldly: the
637 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 12(9) | conviction (cf 2 Cor 4:1-2). Paul has nothing to hide and
638 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 13(10)| impugning Moses' sincerity, Paul attributes another effect
639 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 14(11)| this signals the shift of Paul's attention to his contemporaries;

641 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 14(11)| on his face unprotected. Paul applies that passage to
642 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 17(12)| 16) is the Spirit of whom Paul has been speaking, the life-giving
643 NTLet, 2Cor 3: 18(13)| being transformed: elsewhere Paul speaks of transformation,
644 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 3(2) | application of the image. Paul has been reproached either
645 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 5(3) | Cor 4:10-11). Your slaves: Paul draws attention away from
646 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 6(4) | the origin and nature of Paul's service; cf Acts 9:1-19;
647 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 6(4) | shine out of darkness": Paul seems to be thinking of
648 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 6(4) | to light the knowledge: Paul's role in the process of
649 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 7(5) | 4:7-5:10] Paul now confronts the difficulty
650 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 13(10)| 13-14] Like the Psalmist, Paul clearly proclaims his faith,
651 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 13(10)| with you in his presence: Paul imagines God presenting
652 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 16(11)| In a series of contrasts Paul explains the extent of his
653 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 16(12)| the experience of death. Paul is still speaking of himself
654 NTLet, 2Cor 4: 16(12)| already taking place even in Paul's dying is a share in the
655 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 2(2) | our heavenly habitation: Paul mixes his metaphors, adding
656 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 2(2) | garment on over another." Paul may desire to put the resurrection
657 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 4(4) | desirable (cf Socrates), Paul has a Jewish horror of it.
658 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 11(8) | paragraph is transitional. Paul sums up much that has gone
659 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 13(9) | glory" in 2 Cor 3:7-4:6. Paul also enjoys such experiences
660 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 13(9) | virtue sophrosyne, to which Paul alludes, implies reasonableness,
661 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 16(11)| to the Spirit. Elsewhere Paul contrasts what Christ looks
662 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 18(12)| 18-21] Paul attempts to explain the
663 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 18(12)| ministry of reconciliation: Paul's role in the wider picture
664 NTLet, 2Cor 5: 18(12)| 2 Cor 5:20a). In v 20b Paul acts in the capacity just
665 NTLet, 2Cor 6: 1(1) | appeal." In this paragraph Paul both exercises his ministry
666 NTLet, 2Cor 6: 1(2) | 5:15) be reconciled with Paul (2 Cor 6:11-13; 7:2-3). ~
667 NTLet, 2Cor 6: 2(3) | In an acceptable time: Paul cites the Septuagint text
668 NTLet, 2Cor 6: 2(3) | at this very moment, as Paul is addressing his letter
669 NTLet, 2Cor 6: 4(6) | follows. We commend ourselves: Paul's self-commendation is ironical (
670 NTLet, 2Cor 6: 8(8) | positive inner reality. Paul perceives his existence
671 NTLet, 2Cor 6: 11(9) | 11-13] Paul's tone becomes quieter,
672 NTLet, 2Cor 6: 14(10)| Revelation than they are of Paul. Hence, critics suspect
673 NTLet, 2Cor 7: 5(2) | right relations between Paul and the Corinthians, and
674 NTLet, 2Cor 7: 5(3) | 5-7] Paul picks up the thread of the
675 NTLet, 2Cor 7: 5(3) | his coming puts an end to Paul's restlessness (2 Cor 2:
676 NTLet, 2Cor 7: 8(5) | 8-12] Paul looks back on the episode
677 NTLet, 2Cor 7: 8(5) | attachment they have to Paul.~
678 NTLet, 2Cor 7: 13(6) | 13-16] Paul summarizes the effect of
679 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 1(1) | 8:1-9:15] Paul turns to a new topic, the
680 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 1(1) | 11:27-30). Subsequently Paul organized a project of relief
681 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 1(1) | notes there); by the time Paul wrote Romans 15:25-28 the
682 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 1(1) | on the subject. In them Paul gives us his fullest exposition
683 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 1(1) | recurrence of key words, on which Paul plays; it is usually impossible
684 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 1(2) | Philippians 4:10-20 shows that Paul has reflected on his personal
685 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 1(3) | happening at Corinth, provides Paul with the occasion for expounding
686 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 1(4) | of a single reality, and Paul consciously exploits the
687 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 3(6) | 3-4] Paul emphasizes the spontaneity
688 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 6(8) | Corinthians, but apparently Paul has sent Titus to initiate
689 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 7(9) | The charitable service Paul is promoting is seen briefly
690 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 7(9) | within the perspective of Paul's theology of the charisms.
691 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 12(12)| 12-15] Paul introduces the principle
692 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 12(12)| course of time. In 2 Cor 8:15 Paul grounds his argument unexpectedly
693 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 12(12)| hand according to need. Paul touches briefly here on
694 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 16(13)| Titus and his companions, Paul stresses their personal
695 NTLet, 2Cor 8: 18(14)| identity of this co-worker of Paul, nor of the third companion

718 NTLet, 2Cor 10: 17(10)| allude. God's work through Paul in the community is the

794 NTLet, Gal 1: 10(8) | 10] This charge by Paul's opponents, that he sought

796 NTLet, Gal 1: 11(9) | 11-2:21] Paul's presentation on behalf
797 NTLet, Gal 1: 11(9) | 2:11-14). The content of Paul's revealed gospel is then
798 NTLet, Gal 1: 12(10)| 12] Although Paul received his gospel through
799 NTLet, Gal 1: 13(11)| 15-21), this passage is Paul's chief account of the change
800 NTLet, Gal 1: 13(11)| 1-22; 22:4-16; 26:9-18. Paul himself does not use the
