rwp @2Corinthians:11:25 @{Thrice was I beaten with rods } (\tris errabdisth ˆn \). Roman (Gentile ) punishment . It was forbidden to Roman citizens by the _Lex Porcia_ , but Paul endured it in Philippi (Acts:16:23 ,37 |), the only one of the three named in Acts . First aorist passive of \rabdiz “\, from \rabdos \, rod , _Koin ‚ _ word , in N .T . only here and strkjv @Acts:16:22 | which see . {Once was I stoned } (\hapax elithasth ˆn \). Once for all \hapax \ means . At Lystra (Acts:14:5-19 |). On \lithaz “\ _Koin ‚ _ verb from \lithos \, see on ¯Acts:5:26 |. {Thrice I suffered shipwreck } (\tris enauag ˆsa \). First aorist active of \nauage “\, from \nauagos \, shipwrecked (\naus \, ship , \agnumi \, to break ). Old and common verb , in N .T . only here and strkjv @1Timothy:1:19 |. We know nothing of these . The one told in strkjv @Acts:27 | was much later . What a pity that we have no data for all these varied experiences of Paul . {Night and day } (\nuchth ˆmeron \) Rare word . Papyri give \nukt ˆmar \ with the same idea (night-day ). {Have I been in the deep } (\en t “i buth “i pepoi ˆka \). Vivid dramatic perfect active indicative of \poie “\, "I have done a night and day in the deep ." The memory of it survives like a nightmare . \Buthos \ is old word (only here in N .T .) for bottom , depth of the sea , then the sea itself . Paul does not mean that he was a night and day under the water , not a Jonah experience , only that he was far out at sea and shipwrecked . This was one of the three shipwrecks-already named .
