2 CORINTHIANS 11:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;”
I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles, in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea, and in danger from false believers — the *kataloga* of perils grows: *kindyneúō*, danger from *potamoi*, rivers; *lēstai*, bandits; *ethneí*, Gentiles; *pseudadélphoi*, false brothers. *Peripateia*, constant movement, characterizes his *ministry*.
Church Fathers on 2 Corinthians 11:26
“In perils of rivers.” For he was compelled also to cross rivers. “In perils of robbers, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness.” 'Everywhere were contests set before me, in places, in countries, in cities, in deserts.' “In perils from the Gentiles, in perils among false brethren.” Behold another kind of warfare. For not only did such as were enemies strike at him, but those also who played the hypocrite; and he had need of much firmness, much prudence.
