| 1:9 | εγειροντι:raising | [raising] – the established gloss for this term keeps the raising of the dead as the exclusive act of the one God; Paul's sentence of death drove him to trust in the God who raises the dead, the boundary of Israel's confession. |

| 1:12 | απλοτητι:sincerity | [sincerity] – the established gloss for this term reads “sincerity” for the single-minded purity of the apostolic conduct, the life lived in the sincerity and purity that come from God, not in fleshly wisdom. |

| 1:22 | αρραβωνα:down-payment | [down-payment] – the established gloss for this term renders the pledge as “down-payment,” the first instalment of the age to come given already in the present: the spirit placed in hearts as the guarantee of what God will complete. |

| 1:24 | ϲυνεργοι:co-workers | [co-workers] – the established gloss for this term keeps the σύν-prefix “co-”: Paul and his colleagues are co-workers with the Corinthians for their joy, not lords over their faith. |

| 11:2 | ζηλω:with-jealousy | [with-jealousy] – the established gloss for this term carries the exclusive, protective devotion of God for the assembly; Paul's jealousy is shaped by and participates in that divine jealousy for the virgin presented to the one Messiah. |
| 11:3 | απλοτητοϲ:sincerity | [sincerity] – the established gloss for this term reads “sincerity” for the single-minded devotion of the Corinthians toward Christ, the pure and simple allegiance that the serpent's craftiness threatens to corrupt. |

| 12:13 | χαριϲαϲθε:Forgive | [Forgive] – the established gloss for this term carries the ironic imperative: the Corinthians are asked to forgive Paul for the “injustice” of refusing to be a burden to them. The verb points to the grace of forgiveness that restores the bond. |
