2Cor 13:7 | RWP | e4.org | Though we be as reprobate ( ημεις δε ως αδοκιμο ωμεν ). Literally, "And that" ( ινα δε ). Paul wishes them to do no wrong ( κακον μηδεν ). He has no desire to exercise his apostolic authority and "appear approved" ( δοκιμο φανωμεν , second aorist passive subjunctive of φαινω ). He had far rather see them do "the noble thing" ( το καλον ) even if it should make him appear disapproved after all that he has said.

‏ 2 Corinthians 13:7

Though we be as reprobate ( ημεις δε ως αδοκιμο ωμεν ). Literally, "And that" ( ινα δε ). Paul wishes them to do no wrong ( κακον μηδεν ). He has no desire to exercise his apostolic authority and "appear approved" ( δοκιμο φανωμεν, second aorist passive subjunctive of φαινω ). He had far rather see them do "the noble thing" ( το καλον ) even if it should make him appear disapproved after all that he has said.
