Commentaries:
Barnes' Notes
In weariness - Resulting from traveling, exposure, labor, and want. The word ́ kopos (from ́ koptō , "to beat, to cut" ) means, properly, "wailing and grief," accompanied with beating the breast. Hence, the word means "toil, labor, wearisome effort."
And painfulness - This word ( ́ mochthos ) is a stronger term than the former. It implies painful effort; labor producing sorrow, and in the New Testament is uniformly connected with the word rendered "weariness" (1 Thess, II Corinthians 2:9; II Thessalonians 3:8), rendered in both those places "travail."
In watchings often - In loss of sleep, arising from abundant toils and from danger; see the note on II Corinthians 6:5.
In hunger and thirst - From traveling among strangers, and being dependent on them and on his own personal labors; see the note, I Corinthians 4:11.
In fastings often - Either voluntary or involuntary; see the note on II Corinthians 6:5.
In cold and nakedness - see the note, I Corinthians 4:11.
