2 Corinthians 6:5

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

2 Corinthians 11:27

Context
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 

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.

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

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.
