The NASB has a very wooden, word-for-word translation for 2 Corinthians. While we normally prefer to NASB, the translation of 2 Corinthians is often unclear and perplexing.

We will cite from various translations throughout this study, depending on how accurately (or accessibly) they capture the text of Scripture.
