The Key Word — ὁδοιπορίαις, hodoiporiagenerated
The Greek word ὁδοιπορία (*hodoiporia*) means 'journey' or 'travel.' It is derived from roots related to walking and encompasses the act of moving from one place to another. In this verse, it emphasizes the frequency of Paul's travels.
The dative plural form indicates that these journeys were not just occasional but frequent, highlighting the ongoing nature of his missionary work and the associated dangers.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase is rendered as in my frequent journeys, which aligns with the KJV and ASV's in journeyings often. The emphasis on frequency is consistent across these translations.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of κινδύνους. The BSB uses dangers, while the KJV and ASV prefer in perils. This shows a slight variation in how the concept of danger is expressed.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main structure of the verse consists of a series of clauses, each detailing different sources of danger Paul faced. The finite verb is implied, as the sentence lists various dangers without a direct verb.
The repeated phrase κινδύνους serves as a predicate, indicating the various contexts in which Paul experienced danger. The structure emphasizes the cumulative nature of his experiences.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In 2 Corinthians 11:26, the word ποταμῶν (potamōn), meaning 'of rivers,' corresponds to the Hebrew נָהָר (nahar), which conveys the idea of a stream or river. This choice emphasizes the physical dangers Paul faced during his travels, highlighting the perilous nature of crossing rivers.
The term γένους (genous), translated as 'race,' relates to the Hebrew מִין (min), which denotes kind or species, while ἐθνῶν (ethnōn), meaning 'Gentiles,' corresponds to גּוֹי (goy), referring to nations or peoples. This selection underscores the diverse groups from whom Paul faced danger, illustrating the broader social and cultural threats he encountered.

The Greek word ὁδοιπορία (*hodoiporia*) means 'a journey' or 'travel.' It is derived from a root related to walking and covers the concept of traveling or journeying. The New Testament references include John 4:6 and 2 Corinthians 11:26. Various lexicons note its use in classical texts and the Septuagint, but they do not significantly disagree on its meaning.

κίνδυνος (kindunos) means danger or peril. It can refer to both abstract and concrete risks, as seen in various contexts from ancient texts. In the New Testament, it appears in Romans 8:35 and 2 Corinthians 11:26, highlighting the concept of facing dangers. The lexicons note its use in phrases like 'to run a risk' and 'at one's own risk,' indicating a range of applications.

ποταμός refers to a river, stream, or torrent, often used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. It appears in various New Testament passages, such as Matthew and Revelation, and is associated with running water. The term can also denote artificial streams or canals, and it has been personified as a river-god in ancient literature.

Hom. down, Sept. for 13 and 1%, a stream, a river: Mt. iii.6 LT Tr WH; Mk. i. 5; Acts xvi. 13; 2 Co. xi. 26 [W. § 30, 2a.]; Rev. viii. 10; ix. 14; xii. 15; xvi.4, 12; xxii. 1 sq.; 1. 4. @ torrent, Mt. vii. 25, 27; Lk. vi. 48 sq.; Rev. xii. 15sq.; plur. figuratively i. 4. the greatest abundance [ef. colloq.

ποταμός, “‘the river,” the Nile, is seen in P Petr II. 13(19)!° (B.c. 258-3) περὶ τὴ]ν ἀνα[χώ]ρησιν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, ‘‘at the falling of the river,” OG/S 5613 (B.c. 238) τοῦ τε ποταμοῦ ποτε ἐνλιπέστερον ἀναβάντος, ‘the river being somewhat backward in rising,’’ while in 2. 6725 (a.D. 80) we hear of the clearing of {πε ᾿Αγαθὸς Δαίμων ποταμός in length, breadth, and depth. Ποταμός is also applied in the inscrr. to an artificially constructed ‘‘canal,” e.g. 7d. go** (Rosetta stone—B.C. 196) ὀχυρώσας τὰ στόματα τῶν ποταμῶν.

λῃστής refers to a robber or brigand, often implying violence or plunder. It is derived from the verb ληΐζομαι, meaning to plunder. This term appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including Matthew and John, where it contrasts with κλέπτης, which denotes a thief who steals stealthily. The lexicons note that λῃστής can also refer to pirates or freebooters.
THESE words occur together John x. 1, 8; but do not constitute there! or elsewhere a tautology, or mere rhetorical amplification (cf. Obad. 5; Plato, Rep. i. 851 c). The κλέπτης and the λῃστής alike appropriate what is not theirs, but the κλέπτης by fraud and in secret (Matt. xxiv. 43; John xii. 6; ef. Exod. xxii. 2; Jer. 11. 26); the λῃστής by violence and openly (2 Cor. xi. 26 ; cf. Hos. vii. 1; Jer. vii. 11; Plutarch, De Superst. 8: οὐ φοβεῖται λῃστὰς 6 οἰκουρῶν) ; the one is the ‘thief’ and steals; the other is the ‘robber’ and plunders, as his name, from ληΐς or λεία (as our own ‘robber,’ from ‘Raub,’ booty), sufficiently declares. They are severally the ‘fur’ and ‘latro;’ ‘fures insidiantur et occulta fraude decipiunt ; datrones audacter aliena diripiunt’ (Jerome, In Osee, vii. 1). ‘Larron,’ however, in French, ‘voleur qui dérobe furtivement et par adresse,’ notwithstanding its…

The preparatory training was very severe, and every weakening indulgence was forbidden. Among the most famous games were those celebrated on the isthmus of Corinth, hence called the Isthmian games; and to these Paul alludes in his letters to…

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause. In the New Testament, it is used to denote various relationships, such as source or distinction, and appears in contexts like John 6:31 and Matthew 1:3. Different lexicons highlight its versatility in both literal and metaphorical senses.

The Greek word ἔθνος (i.e., *ethnos*) refers to a multitude or a nation, often distinguished from the Jewish people. It can denote a company of individuals or animals and is frequently used in the New Testament to refer to Gentiles or non-Jews. The term appears in various contexts, including Acts and Matthew, where it highlights the distinction between Jews and other nations.
ἔθνος, -ους, τό; 1. a multitude (whether of men or of beasts) associated or living together ; a company, troop, swarm: ἔθνος ἑταίρων, ἔθνος ᾿Αχαιῶν, ἔθνος λαῶν, Hom. 1]. ; ἔθνος μελισσάων, 2,87; μυιάων ἔθνεα, ib. 469. 2. α multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus, (τὸ ἔθνος τὸ θῆλυ ἢ τὸ ἄρρεν, Xen. oec. 7, 26): πᾶν ἔθνος ἀνθρώπων, the human race, Acts xvii. 26 [but this seems to belong under the next head]. 3. race, nation: Mt. xxi. 43; Acts x. 35, ete.; ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος, Mt. xxiv. 7; ΜΚ. xiii. 8; οἱ ἄρχοντες, of βασιλεῖς τῶν ἐθνῶν, Mt. xx. 25; Lk. xxii. 25; used [in the sing.] of the Jewish people, Lk. vii. δ; xxiii. 2; Jn. xi. 48, 50-53; xviii. 35; Acts x. 22; xxiv. 2 (3), 10; xxvi. 4; xxviii. 19. 4.

jen'-tilz (goy, plural goyim; ethnos, "people," "nation"): Goy (or Goi) is rendered "Gentiles" in the King James Version in some 30 passages, but much more frequently "heathen," and oftener still, "nation," which latter is the usual rendering in the Revised Version (British and American), but it, is commonly used for a non-Israelitish people, and thus corresponds to the meaning of Gentiles." It occurs, however, in passages referring to the Israelites, as in Ge 12:2; De 32:28; Jos 3:17; 4:1; 10:13; 2Sa 7:23; Isa 1:4; Ze 2:9, but the word (`am) is the term commonly used for the people of God.

Gentiles
(Heb., usually in plural, goyim), meaning in general all nations except the Jews. In course of time, as the Jews began more and more to pride themselves on their peculiar privileges, it acquired unpleasant associations, and was used as a term of contempt.
In the New Testament the Greek word Hellenes, meaning literally Greek (as in Acts 16:1, 3; 18:17; Rom. 1:14), generally denotes any non-Jewish nation.
(nations). All the people who were not Jews were so called by them, being aliens from the worship, rites and privileges of Israel. The word was used contemptuously by them. In the New Testament it is used as equivalent to Greek. This use of the word seems to have arisen from the almost universal adaption of the Greek language.
A name given by the Hebrews to all those that had not received the Law of Moses. Foreigners who embraced Judaism, they called proselytes. Since the promulgation of the gospel, the true religion has been extended to all nations; God, who had promised by his prophets to call the Gentiles to the faith, with a superabundance of grace, having fulfilled his promise; so that the Christian church is composed principally of Gentile converts, the Jews being too proud of their privileges to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah and Redeemer. In the writings of Paul, the Gentiles are generally called Greeks, Ro 1:14,16 1Co 1:22,24 Ga 3:28. So also in those of Luke, in the Ac 6:1…

κίνδυνος (kindunos) means danger or peril. It can refer to both abstract and concrete risks, as seen in various contexts from ancient texts. In the New Testament, it appears in Romans 8:35 and 2 Corinthians 11:26, highlighting the concept of facing dangers. The lexicons note its use in phrases like 'to run a risk' and 'at one's own risk,' indicating a range of applications.

κίνδυνος. In P Petr II. 13 (19)}9 (B.c. 258-3) Kleon writes to his father begging him to come and visit him at the time of the falling of the river, καθ᾽ ὃν χρόνον οὐθείς ἐστιν κίνδυνος. Another pleasing family illustration is afforded by the letter of Dionysius to his brother Hephaestion, P Vat A (B.c. 168) (= Witkowski’, p. 64 ff.), congratulating him on the news that he had been saved 7 ἐγ μεγάλων κινδύνων, and reminding him (Hephaestion was ἐν κατοχῆι at the time in the κίχρημι OF χράω Serapeum) that every one when he has been so saved—t’f. ὁπηνίκ᾽ ἂν ἐκ κινδύνων διασωθῆι, endeavours to come quickly and greet his wife and children and friends.

constructively), i.e. a relation of rest (intermediate between 1519
and 1537); "in," at, (up-)on, by, etc.:--about, after, against, +
almost, X altogether, among, X as, at, before, between, (here-)by (+
all means), for (... sake of), + give self wholly to, (here-)in(-to,

import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate
direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different)
preposition.

PREP PREPosition
A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

πόλις (polis) means 'city' and can refer to an enclosed town or the inhabitants of a city. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in the context of specific cities like Jerusalem or as a general term for urban areas. The word is derived from various dialects and has a rich history in classical literature, indicating both physical locations and the concept of citizenship.

It may be worth while to note that this ancient by-form of πόλις occurs in three ostraca of the reign of Caligula as a proper name, Ostr 380! διαγεγρά(φηκεν) Πτόλις Ψενεν(ούφιος), 7. 3811, 3821, and similarly in PSI IV. 317!

The distributive force which πόλις has in several Lucan passages (Ac 154 a/.) and in Tit 1° is to be set against the very different meaning of the phrase in sundry documents of the new collection from Alexandria (reign of Augustus).

I. The Canaanite City.
1. Origin:
The development of the Canaanite city has been traced by Macalister in his report on the excavation at Gezer (Palestine Exploration Fund Statement, 1904, 108 ff). It originated on the slopes of a bare rocky spur, in which the Neolithic Troglodytes quarried their habitations out of the solid rock, the stones therefrom being used to form a casing to the earthen ramparts, with which the site was afterwards surrounded and which served as a protection against the intrusion of enemies. Later Semitic intruders occupied the site, stone houses were built, and high stone defense…
City
The earliest mention of city-building is that of Enoch, which was built by Cain (Gen. 4:17). After the confusion of tongues, the descendants of Nimrod founded several cities (10:10-12). Next, we have a record of the cities of the Canaanites, Sidon, Gaza, Sodom, etc. (10:12, 19; 11:3, 9; 36:31-39). The earliest description of a city is that of Sodom (19:1-22). Damascus is said to be the oldest existing city in the world. Before the time of Abraham there were cities in Egypt (Num. 13:22). The Israelites in Egypt were employed in building the “treasure cities” of Pithom and Raamses (Ex. 1:11); but it does not seem that they had any cities of their own in Goshen (Gen.…
The towns and cities of Palestine were commonly built on heights, for better security against robbers or invaders. These heights, surrounded by walls, sometimes formed the entire city. In other cases, the citadel alone crowned the hill, around and at the base of which the town was built; and in time of danger the surrounding population all took refuge in the fortified place. Larger towns and cities were often not only defended by strong outer walls, with towers and gates, but by a citadel or castle within these limits-a last resort when the rest of the city was taken, Jud 9:46,51. The "fenced cities" of the Jews, De 3:5, were of various sizes and degrees of strength; some being surrounded by high and thick stone walls, and others by feebler ramparts, often of clay or sun-dried…

κίνδυνος (kindunos) means danger or peril. It can refer to both abstract and concrete risks, as seen in various contexts from ancient texts. In the New Testament, it appears in Romans 8:35 and 2 Corinthians 11:26, highlighting the concept of facing dangers. The lexicons note its use in phrases like 'to run a risk' and 'at one's own risk,' indicating a range of applications.

κίνδυνος. In P Petr II. 13 (19)}9 (B.c. 258-3) Kleon writes to his father begging him to come and visit him at the time of the falling of the river, καθ᾽ ὃν χρόνον οὐθείς ἐστιν κίνδυνος. Another pleasing family illustration is afforded by the letter of Dionysius to his brother Hephaestion, P Vat A (B.c. 168) (= Witkowski’, p. 64 ff.), congratulating him on the news that he had been saved 7 ἐγ μεγάλων κινδύνων, and reminding him (Hephaestion was ἐν κατοχῆι at the time in the κίχρημι OF χράω Serapeum) that every one when he has been so saved—t’f. ὁπηνίκ᾽ ἂν ἐκ κινδύνων διασωθῆι, endeavours to come quickly and greet his wife and children and friends. We may contrast the menacing letter to a creditor, P Tebt II. 424 (late ili/A.D.), which ends—7™ ὡς ἐὰ (2. ἐὰν) μὴ ἀποκαταστασίας [δ]ὴ πέμψῃς [ο]ῖδάς σου τὸ[ν] κίνδυνον, ‘so unless you now send discharges you know your danger” (Edd.).

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

κίνδυνος (kindunos) means danger or peril. It can refer to both abstract and concrete risks, as seen in various contexts from ancient texts. In the New Testament, it appears in Romans 8:35 and 2 Corinthians 11:26, highlighting the concept of facing dangers. The lexicons note its use in phrases like 'to run a risk' and 'at one's own risk,' indicating a range of applications.

κίνδυνος. In P Petr II. 13 (19)}9 (B.c. 258-3) Kleon writes to his father begging him to come and visit him at the time of the falling of the river, καθ᾽ ὃν χρόνον οὐθείς ἐστιν κίνδυνος. Another pleasing family illustration is afforded by the letter of Dionysius to his brother Hephaestion, P Vat A (B.c. 168) (= Witkowski’, p. 64 ff.), congratulating him on the news that he had been saved 7 ἐγ μεγάλων κινδύνων, and reminding him (Hephaestion was ἐν κατοχῆι at the time in the κίχρημι OF χράω Serapeum) that every one when he has been so saved—t’f. ὁπηνίκ᾽ ἂν ἐκ κινδύνων διασωθῆι, endeavours to come quickly and greet his wife and children and friends. We may contrast the menacing letter to a creditor, P Tebt II. 424 (late ili/A.D.), which ends—7™ ὡς ἐὰ (2. ἐὰν) μὴ ἀποκαταστασίας [δ]ὴ πέμψῃς [ο]ῖδάς σου τὸ[ν] κίνδυνον, ‘so unless you now send discharges you know your danger” (Edd.).

On
Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

θάλασσα (thalassa) means 'the sea' and is often used in the New Testament to refer to various bodies of water, including the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. It can also denote an inland lake, such as the Sea of Galilee. The term appears in several verses, including Matthew 23:15 and Acts 7:36. Some sources note its connection to the idea of agitation, but interpretations vary.
THE connexion of θάλασσα with the verb ταράσσειν, that it means properly the agitated or disturbed, finds favour with 1 I cannot regard as an evidence of such reconsecration the wellknown words of Ignatius, Ad Rom. 7: ὃ ἐμὸς ἔρως ἐσταύρωται. It is far more consistent with the genius of these Ignatian Epistles to take épws subjectively here, ‘ My love of the world is crucified,’ .6. with Christ ; rather than objectively, ‘ Christ, the object of my love, is crucified.’ 2 Consult on ἔρως the noble fragment from Sophocles, preserved by Stobeeus : Νόσημ᾽ ἔρωτος τοῦτ᾽ ἐφίμερον κακόν. ἔχοιμ᾽ ἂν αὐτὸ μὴ κακῶς ἀπεικάσαι, ὅταν πάγου φανέντος αἰθρίου χεροῖν κρύσταλλον ἁρπάσωσι παῖδες ἀσταγῆ. τὰ πρῶτ᾽ ἔχουσιν ἡδονὰς ποταινίους, τέλος δ᾽ ὃ χυμὸς οὔθ᾽ ὅπως ἀφῇ θέλει οὔτ᾽ ἐν χεροῖν τὸ κτῆμα σύμφορον μένειν. οὕτω γε τοὺς ἐρῶντας αὑτὸς ἵμερος δρᾶν καὶ τὸ μὴ δρᾶν πολλάκις προΐεται. §xul1 SYNONYMS OF THE…

se (yam; thalassa; in Ac 27:5 pelagos): The Mediterranean is called ha-yam ha-gadhol, "the great sea" (Nu 34:6; Jos 1:4; Eze 47:10, etc.); ha-yam ha-'acharon, "the hinder," or "western sea" (De 11:24; 34:2; Joe 2:20; Zec 14:8); yam pelishtim, "the sea of the Philis" (Ex 23:31); the King James Version translates yam yapho' in Ezr 3:7 by "sea of Joppa," perhaps rightly.
The sea, yam , is used in Scripture to denote-- "The gathering of the waters," "the Ocean."

The Great Sea is 2,200 miles long, and in the widest part 1,200 miles in width. In many places it is so deep as to give no soundings.

κίνδυνος (kindunos) means danger or peril. It can refer to both abstract and concrete risks, as seen in various contexts from ancient texts. In the New Testament, it appears in Romans 8:35 and 2 Corinthians 11:26, highlighting the concept of facing dangers. The lexicons note its use in phrases like 'to run a risk' and 'at one's own risk,' indicating a range of applications.

κίνδυνος. In P Petr II. 13 (19)}9 (B.c. 258-3) Kleon writes to his father begging him to come and visit him at the time of the falling of the river, καθ᾽ ὃν χρόνον οὐθείς ἐστιν κίνδυνος. Another pleasing family illustration is afforded by the letter of Dionysius to his brother Hephaestion, P Vat A (B.c. 168) (= Witkowski’, p. 64 ff.), congratulating him on the news that he had been saved 7 ἐγ μεγάλων κινδύνων, and reminding him (Hephaestion was ἐν κατοχῆι at the time in the κίχρημι OF χράω Serapeum) that every one when he has been so saved—t’f. ὁπηνίκ᾽ ἂν ἐκ κινδύνων διασωθῆι, endeavours to come quickly and greet his wife and children and friends.
