2 Corinthians 8:21 [5] Possibly an idiom meaning something like, "after my father dies and after I observe the traditional mourning period and after I receive my inheritance, then I will do such and such." This was probably nothing more than a petty excuse to avoid making a commitment to Jesus and had nothing to do with the condition of the man's father (who was probably fine).

2 Corinthians 8:29 [6] Lit What to us and to you, originally a Hebrew idiom which does not translate well into English. The idiom is meant to bluntly inform the other person that the speaker is not aware of any obligation between them, and does not wish to deal with the other person (cf 2SM 16:10). It can also express the speaker's protest that he has not harmed the other individual, and therefore should not suffer harm at the hands of that person (cf 1KG 17:18).
