Senses in use

  1. Harmful treatment or injury · dominant

    In Acts 27:10, the genitive singular form occurs in the warning that the voyage will bring damage to cargo, ship, and lives; in Acts 27:21, the accusative singular names what would have been avoided by not sailing from Crete. The dative plural in 2 Corinthians 12:10 is listed with weaknesses, necessities, persecutions, and hardships; the APB renders the clause "I am content with weaknesses, with mistreatments, with necessities, with persecutions, and with hardships."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB uses "mistreatment" or "mistreatments" within warnings of voyage-related loss and a list of hardships. This rendering confirms the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolating every nuance of the term.
