Meeting a deficiency through provision · dominant
In 2 Corinthians 11:9, the aorist active indicative plural form refers to the brothers who came from Macedonia in the clause the APB renders “supplied my deficiency.” In 2 Corinthians 9:12, the present active participle describes the ministry of service in the clause the APB renders “supplying the needs of the saints.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses as “supplied my deficiency” in 2 Corinthians 11:9 and “supplying the needs of the saints” in 2 Corinthians 9:12. These phrases confirm the clauses' provision context rather than establish separate renderings.
