5. stripes — ( 2 Corinthians 11:23 ; 2 Corinthians 11:24 ; Acts 16:23 ). imprisonments — ( Acts 16:23- : ). He had been, doubtless, elsewhere imprisoned besides at Philippi when he wrote this Epistle. tumults — ( Acts 13:50 ; Acts 14:5 ; Acts 14:19 ; Acts 16:22 ; and recently Acts 16:22- : ). labours —in the cause of Christ ( 2 Corinthians 11:23 ; Romans 16:12 ). watchings — ( Romans 16:12- : ). Sleepless nights. fastings —The context here refers to his trials, rather than devotional exercises (compare 2 Corinthians 11:27 ). Thus "foodlessness" would seem to be the sense (compare 1 Corinthians 4:11 ; Philippians 4:12 ). But the usual sense of the Greek is fasts, in the strict sense; and in Philippians 4:12- : it is spoken of independently of "hunger and thirst." (Compare Luke 2:37 ; Acts 10:30 ; Acts 14:23 ). However, Matthew 15:32 ; Mark 8:3 , justify the sense, more favored by the context, foodlessness, though a rare use of the word. GAUSSEN remarks "The apostles combine the highest offices with the humblest exterior: as everything in the Church was to be cast in the mould of death and resurrection, the cardinal principle throughout Christianity." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
