2 Corinthians 11:31

τοῦ κυρίου (אBFGKL, g am. Pesh. Goth.) rather than τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν (DMP, d f Vulg. Copt. Arm. Aeth.); and Ἰησοῦ (אBFG 17, 31, 37, 118, g am. Pesh. Arm. Goth.) rather than Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ (DKLMP, d f Vulg. Copt. Aeth.).

31. ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ οἶδεν. See critical note and notes on 2 Corinthians 1:3. This solemn asseveration also, like καυχήσομαι, looks both backwards and forwards. What he has said, and what he has still to say, in glorying of his weaknesses, is known by God to be true. He feels that his readers may be becoming incredulous, and that what he is about to state will try them still more. With the thoroughly Pauline οὐ ψεύδομαι comp. 2 Corinthians 9:1; Galatians 1:20; 1 Timothy 2:7. After this highly argumentative and rhetorical passage, note the sudden drop to a plain statement of fact.
