Exegesis
The concluding concessive clause hēmeis de hōs adokimoi ōmen {ἡμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἀδόκιμοι ὦμεν | hē-meîs de hōs a-dó-ki-moi ō-men} uses the present subjunctive to acknowledge the possibility of the apostles being regarded as disapproved, thus underscoring the priority of the believers’ moral conduct over apostolic reputation.
Root and etymology
“not approved, rejected”
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:7
We now pray to God that you do no evil at all; not so that we may appear approved , but so that you may do what is good, even if we should be found disapproved.
