Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

Without. 'Beside' trials externally, there is "that which cometh upon me [literally, the impetuous concourse to me of business; episustasis: so f g, Vulgate, a crowd rising up against one again and again, to bear him down], the care of all the churches" (including those not yet seen in the flesh, Colossians 2:1); an internal and more weighty anxiety. But 'Aleph (') B Delta G read epistasis (G1987a), 'the pressing inspection that is upon me daily.' Wahl, 'Independently of what is BESIDES' [ parektos (G3924)] - namely, those other trials besides those recounted. But the Vulgate supports the English version.

The care, [ merimna (G3308)] - 'my anxious solicitude for all the churches.'
