2 Corinthians 11:28 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

Without. 'Beside' trials externally, there is "that which cometh upon me [literally, the impetuous concourse to me of business; episustasis: so f g, Vulgate, a crowd rising up against one again and again, to bear him down], the care of all the churches" (including those not yet seen in the flesh, Colossians 2:1); an internal and more weighty anxiety. But 'Aleph (') B Delta G read epistasis (G1987a), 'the pressing inspection that is upon me daily.' Wahl, 'Independently of what is BESIDES' х parektos (G3924)] - namely, those other trials besides those recounted. But the Vulgate supports the English version.

The care, х merimna (G3308)] - 'my anxious solicitude for all the churches.'
