Painfulness
PAINFULNESS.In Psa 73:18 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me as well as in 2Es 7:12, 2Ma 2:26 painful means laborious: and so painfulness in 2Co 11:27 means Iahoriousness. Hooker says, The search of knowledge is a thing painful, and the painfulness of knowledge is that which maketh the will so hardly inclinable thereto.

Painfulness
panfool-nes (, mochthos): In the summary of his missionary labors in 2Co 11:27 the King James Version, Paul uses this word. The Revised Version (British and American) renders it travail, which probably now expresses its meaning more closely, as in modern usage painfulness is usually restricted to the condition of actual soreness or suffering, although we still use painstaking in the sense of careful labor. The Greek word is used for toil or excessive anxiety, as in Euripides (Medea, 126), where it refers to that care for her children which she had lost in her madness. Tyndale uses painfulness in 1Jo 4:18 as the translation of , kolasis, which the King James Version renders torment and the Revised Version (British and American) punishment.
