Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 11:27

_ _ fastingsvoluntary, in order to kindle devotions (Acts 13:2, Acts 13:3; Acts 14:23; 1 Corinthians 9:27); for they are distinguished from “hunger and thirst,” which were involuntary [Grotius]. However, see on 2 Corinthians 6:5. The context refers solely to hardships, not to self-imposed devotional mortification. “Hunger and thirst” are not synonymous with “foodlessness” (as the Greek of “fasting” means), but are its consequences.

_ _ cold ... nakedness — “cold” resulting from “nakedness,” or insufficient clothing, as the Greek often means: as “hunger and thirst” result from “foodlessness.” (Compare Acts 28:2; Romans 8:35). “When we remember that he who endured all this was a man constantly suffering from infirm health (2 Corinthians 4:7-12; 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Galatians 4:13, Galatians 4:14), such heroic self-devotion seems almost superhuman” [Conybeare and Howson].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 11:22-33.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 11:27

In cold and nakedness — Having no place where to lay my head; no convenient raiment to cover me; yet appearing before noble — men, governors, kings; and not being ashamed.
