2 Corinthians 6:5; In Tumults
2 Corinthians 6:5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
The word “tumult” means instability, unrest. It describes political unrest turmoil, revolution, insurrection as in Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. A common in human history. In James 3:16, community disruption confusion, disorder, unruliness of the unmortified flesh is the sense of the word – James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. And here in 2 Corinthians 6:5, the Apostle Paul speaks of social unrest rioting, tumult, disturbance due to mob action as a result of the gospel being preached in [Friberg Lexicon].
