We hunger (peinwmen), we thirst (dipswmen), are naked (gumniteuomen), late verb for scant clothing from gumnhth, are buffeted (kolapizomeqa), to strike a blow with the fist from kolapo and one of the few N.T. and ecclesiastical words and see on Matthew 26:67 , have no certain dwelling place (astatoumen) from astato, strolling about and only here save Anthol. Pal. and Aquila in Isaiah 58:7 . Field in Notes, p. 170 renders 1 Corinthians 4:11 "and are vagabonds" or spiritual hobos.
