11:27 in hard work and toil, ⁶  through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing. ⁷

13:3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He ⁸  is not weak toward you but is powerful among you.

[2:13]  ¹ tn Or “I had no peace of mind.”

[2:13]  ² tn Or “I took my leave of them.”

[2:13]  ³ tn Since this refers to the outset of a journey, the aorist ἐξῆλθον (exhlqon) is taken ingressively.

[5:20]  ⁴ tn Or “as though God were begging.”

[5:20]  ⁵ tn Or “we beg you.”

[11:27]  ⁶ tn The two different words for labor are translated “in hard work and toil” by L&N 42.48.

[11:27]  ⁷ 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.

[13:3]  ⁸ tn Grk “who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
