 40but Paul chose Silas and departed, commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord. (Acts 15:36‑40)

28
Besides those things that are without, the crowd of cares pressing on me daily, the burdene of all the assemblies.

JND Translation Notes

+
e
"Burden" here means any solicitude or anxiety, but "care" misleads, because it conveys the idea of taking care of, which is not the sense. Same word as "anxious care," Matt. 13.22, and "care," 1 Pet. 5.7.

W. Kelly Translation

+
28
Apart from things withouta, my pressing careb day by day, the concern for all the assemblies.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Or, "besides."
b
There is little doubt that an early confusion crept into the text, and that the true word here is one signifying "urgent attention," as in {vi 27782}{/vi} were it is rather one signifying "faction" or "tumultuous concourse."
