2 Korintus 11:26-27

11:26 I have been on journeys many times, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, ¹  in dangers from my own countrymen, in dangers from Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, ²  in dangers at sea, in dangers from false brothers, 11:27 in hard work and toil, ³  through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing. ⁴ 

[11:26]  ¹ tn Or “bandits.” The word normally refers more to highwaymen (“robbers”) but can also refer to insurrectionists or revolutionaries (“bandits”).

[11:26]  ² tn Or “desert.”

[11:27]  ³ tn The two different words for labor are translated “in hard work and toil” by L&N 42.48.

[11:27]  ⁴ tn Grk “in cold and nakedness.” Paul does not mean complete nakedness, however, which would have been repugnant to a Jew; he refers instead to the lack of sufficient clothing, especially in cold weather. A related word is used to 1 Cor 4:11, also in combination with experiencing hunger and thirst.
