2 Corinthians 6:5

“In stripes, etc..] As the Apostle Paul particularly was, who was thrice beaten with rods, and five times scourged by the Jews with the scourge of forty stripes save one. In imprisonments; under which are included bonds, in which they often were for the Gospel of Christ: in tumults; and uproars of the people, when their lives were frequently in imminent danger: or “in tossings to and fro”; being drove from place to place through the fury of their enemies; in labours; in a laborious ministry of the word, and administration of ordinances; or by labouring with their own hands to supply their necessities: in watchings; being obliged to work night and day at their hand labour, and in preaching,…”

“stripes-- (Co2 11:23-24; Act 16:23). imprisonments-- (Co2 11:23).

In 2 Corinthians 11:23-25, Paul says that he had been scourged five times by the Jews, and had been thrice beaten with rods. See the notes on that place. In imprisonments - As at Philippi; Acts 16:24 ff. It was no uncommon thing for the early preachers of Christianity to be imprisoned. In tumults - Margin, “Tossing to and fro.” The Greek word (ἀκαταστασία…”

“In tumults - The Greek word implies such attacks as a man cannot stand against, but which bear him hither and thither by violence. 2 Corinthians 6:6”
