2 Corinthians 11:26

2 Corinthians 11:26

24 From the Jews five times I received ^aforty ^bstripes minus one.

25 Three times I was ^abeaten with rods; ^bonce I was stoned; three times I ^cwas shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, ^ain perils of my own countrymen, ^bin perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

27 in weariness and toil, ^ain sleeplessness often, ^bin hunger and thirst, in ^cfastings often, in cold and nakedness—

28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: ^amy deep concern for all the churches.

2 Corinthians 11:27 >>

In—rather, "By": connected with II Corinthians 11:23, but now not with "in," as there, and as in II Corinthians 11:27, where again he passes to the idea of surrounding circumstances or environments [ALFORD, ELLICOTT and others].

waters—rather, as Greek, "rivers," namely, perils by the flooding of rivers, as on the road often traversed by Paul between Jerusalem and Antioch, crossed as it is by the torrents rushing down from Lebanon. So the traveller Sport lost his life.

robbers—perhaps in his journey from Perga to Antioch in Pisidia. Pisidia was notorious for robbers; as indeed were all the mountains that divided the high land of Asia from the sea.

the heathen—Gentiles.

in the city—Damascus, Acts 9:24-25; Jerusalem, Acts 9:29; Ephesus, Acts 19:23.

false brethren— (Galatians 2:4).
