Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on 2Cor 11:28

2Cor 11:28 · Douay-Rheims
“Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches.”
On this verse:
“without--"Beside" trials falling on me externally, just recounted, there is "that which cometh upon me (literally, the impetuous concourse to me of business; properly, a crowd rising up against one again and again, and ready to bear him down), the care of all the churches" (including those not yet seen in the flesh, Col 2:1): an internal and more weighty anxiety. But the oldest manuscripts for "that which cometh," read, "the pressure": "the pressing care-taking" or "inspection that is upon me daily." ALFORD translates, "Omitting what is BESIDES"; namely, those other trials besides those recounted. But the Vulgate, ESTIUS, and BENGEL, support English Version. the care--The Greek implies, "my anxious solicitude for all the churches."”
