2 Corinthians 4:17
Context4:17 For our momentary, light suffering 1 is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison
2 Corinthians 11:27
Context11:27 in hard work and toil, 2 through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing. 3


[4:17] 1 tn Grk “momentary lightness of affliction.”
[11:27] 2 tn The two different words for labor are translated “in hard work and toil” by L&N 42.48.
[11:27] 3 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.
