Hodoiporia denotes travel undertaken, whether repeated travels amid danger or a journey that leaves someone fatigued.

The attested use denotes travel as an undertaken journey: repeated travels are set among dangers in 2 Corinthians 11:26, while a single journey is the context for Jesus' labor and sitting by the well in John 4:6.

Senses in use

  1. Travel undertaken, repeated or single · dominant

    In 2 Corinthians 11:26, the dative plural form occurs in the sequence of dangers, and the APB renders the clause "In frequent journeys,". In John 4:6, the genitive singular form is linked with Jesus' labor before he sits by the well; the APB renders "having labored from the journey."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "journeys" in 2 Corinthians 11:26 and "the journey" in John 4:6. These phrases confirm the verse contexts rather than establish separate meanings.
