Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
1:8-11 dear brothers and sisters: Greek adelphoi. This traditional term of affection is used to address members of the same family, both male and female. • The trouble we went through in the province of Asia is not easy to identify. One suggestion is the riot in Ephesus (Acts 19:23-41). Another is that Paul was tried in a civil court and faced the prospect of execution in Ephesus (2 Cor 1:9; see 1 Cor 15:32). Less likely is that he suffered an acute life-threatening illness. Paul was no stranger to mortal danger (2 Cor 1:10; see also 4:10-12; 6:9; 11:23), but he was marvelously rescued by divine assistance (1:11).
