# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
As Paul continues to affirm his apostleship, he talks about false apostles.
|
|
|
|
# in order that I may take away the claim
|
|
|
|
Paul speaks of a false claim that his enemies state as if it were something that he can carry way. AT: "so that I might make it impossible" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# for which they want to boast
|
|
|
|
While Paul's boast was that he "freely preached the gospel" ([2 Corinthians 11:7](./07.md)), his enemies boasted that they could speak well ([2 Corinthians 11:6](./05.md)).
|
|
|
|
# they are found to be doing the same work that we are doing
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "that people will think that they are like us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# For such people
|
|
|
|
"I do what I do because people like them"
|
|
|
|
# deceitful workers
|
|
|
|
"dishonest workers"
|
|
|
|
# disguise themselves as apostles
|
|
|
|
"are not apostles, but they try to make themselves look like apostles" |
