2 Corinthians 6:5

6:5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, ¹  in troubles, ²  in sleepless nights, in hunger,

---

¹ tn Or “rebellions” (uprisings in open defiance of civil authority).

² tn Usually κόποις (kopois) has been translated as “labors” or “hard work,” but see Matt 26:10 where it means “trouble”; “distress” (L&N 22.7). In this context with so many other terms denoting suffering and difficulty, such a meaning is preferable.
