2 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 11

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 11:26
  
  in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers: The word Paul uses for “rivers” in this verse is the same one rendered “floods” at Mt 7:25, 27. In such regions as Pisidia—through which Paul traveled on his first missionary journey—the rivers often flooded after rains, turning ravines into raging, lethal torrents. The same mountainous region was also notorious for harboring bands of robbers. Paul willingly faced dangers, not because he was reckless, but because he accepted God’s direction in his ministry. (Ac 13:2-4; 16:6-10; 21:19) His eagerness to share the good news outweighed any concerns for his own comfort and safety.—Compare Ro 1:14-16; 1Th 2:8.
