The Key Word — ἀστατοῦμεν, astateōgenerated
The verb ἀστατέω (*astateō*) means to be unsettled or homeless, indicating a lack of stability. It is derived from the word for 'unstable' and conveys a sense of wandering without a fixed home. In this context, it reflects the apostles' experiences as they travel and minister, often without a permanent dwelling.
This word appears only here in the New Testament, emphasizing the unique situation of the apostles who, despite their hardships, remain committed to their mission. The parsing indicates that it is a present active indicative verb in the first person plural, showing that Paul includes himself in this ongoing state of homelessness.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as: 'To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.' This wording is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which use similar phrases to convey the apostles' suffering.
However, there are variations in how some words are translated. For example, πεινῶμεν is rendered as 'we hunger' in the WEB, while the BSB opts for 'hungry.' Additionally, the term κολαφιζόμεθα is consistently translated as 'are buffeted' in most versions, except for the DBY which uses 'buffeted.'
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is πεινῶμεν, we hunger, which governs the overall structure. The sentence includes several phrases that describe the conditions of the apostles: a series of noun phrases detailing their hunger, thirst, clothing, treatment, and homelessness.
The structure is complex, with multiple clauses and phrases that convey the ongoing nature of their struggles. Each element builds on the previous one, creating a comprehensive picture of their hardships.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ὥρα appears in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew word for 'time' (עֵת, *ʿēth*). In the context of 1 Corinthians 4:11, it emphasizes the present moment of suffering faced by the apostles, linking their experience to the broader theme of endurance in trials.
The use of ἀστατέω does not have a direct counterpart in the Septuagint, but the concept of being unsettled or without a home resonates with various Old Testament themes of exile and wandering.

Here still there is an implied contrast between their condition (“full,” “rich,” “kings,” of 1 Corinthians 4:8) and that of St. Paul himself. Are naked.—The better reading is, we are in need of sufficient clothing (as 2 Corinthians 11:27). Are buffeted—i.e., are treated like slaves, and not like “kings,” as you are.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Usque in hanc horam et esurimus, et sitimus, et nudi sumus, et colaphis cædimur, et instabiles sumus,
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word ἄχρι (i.e., *achri*) serves as both an adverb and a preposition, meaning 'until' or 'as far as.' It is used in various contexts, including time, space, and degree, and appears in multiple New Testament verses such as Galatians 3:19 and Hebrews 3:13. The entries indicate that it can also function as a conjunction, linking clauses.
ἄχρι (achri) — until.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ἄρτι (*arti*) is an adverb meaning 'just now' or 'at this moment.' It indicates the present time, contrasting with past or future. The New Testament uses it in verses like Matthew 3:15 and 1 Thessalonians 3:6. It can also imply a sense of immediacy, as seen in phrases like 'ἕως ἄρτι' (until now). Different lexicons agree on its basic meaning and usage.

The Greek word ὥρα, transliterated as hora, primarily means 'hour' but also refers to any fixed period of time or season. It encompasses specific times of day or seasons of the year, as seen in various New Testament passages like Matthew 24:36 and John 2:4. The lexicons indicate its use for both literal and figurative time, without significant disagreement among them.

our (sha`atha', she`a'; hora): Hour as a division of the day does not occur in the Old Testament; the term she`a' (sha`atha') found in Dnl, is Aramaic, and as used there denotes a short period or point of time of no definite length (Da 3:6,15; 4:33 (Hebrew 30); 5:5). The Greek hora is commonly used in the New Testament in the same way, as "that same hour," "from that hour," etc., but it also occurs as a division of the day, as, "the third hour," "the ninth hour," etc. The Hebrews would seem to have become acquainted with this division of time through the Babylonians, but whether before the captivity we are not certain. The mention of the sun dial of Ahaz would seem to indicate some such reckoning of time during the monarchy.

Hour
First found in Dan. 3:6; 4:19, 33;5:5. It is the rendering of the Chaldee shaah, meaning a “moment,” a “look.” It is used in the New Testament frequently to denote some determinate season (Matt. 8:13; Luke 12:39).
With the ancient Hebrews the divisions of the day were “morning, evening, and noon-day” (Ps. 55:17, etc.). The Greeks, following the Babylonians, divided the day into twelve hours. The Jews, during the Captivity, learned also from the Babylonians this method of dividing time. When Judea became subject to the Romans, the Jews adopted the Roman mode of reckoning time. The night was divided into four watches (
The ancient Hebrews were probably unacquainted with the division of the natural day into twenty-four parts; but they afterwards parcelled out the period between sunrise and sunset into a series of divisions distinguished by the sun’s course. The early Jews appear to have divided the day into four parts, (Nehemiah 9:3) and the night into three watches, (Judges 7:19) and even in the New Testament we find a trace of this division in (Matthew 20:1-5) At what period the Jews first became acquainted with the division of the day into twelve hours is unknown, but it is generally supposed they learned it from the Babylonians during the captivity. It was known to the Egyptians at a very early period. They had twelve hours of the day and…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

πεινάω is a Greek verb meaning 'to hunger' or 'to be hungry,' derived from the concept of pinching toil. It encompasses both physical hunger and a metaphorical craving, such as longing for righteousness (Matthew 5:6). The term appears frequently in the New Testament, indicating both literal need and spiritual desire. Notably, the lexicons do not present significant disagreement on its meanings.

thurst (tsama', verb tsame'; dipsao, dipsos, dipsa): One of the most powerful natural appetities, the craving for water or other drink. Besides its natural significance, thirst is figuratively used of strong spiritual desire. The soul thirsts for God (Ps 42:2; 63:1). Jesus meets the soul's thirst with water of life (Joh 4:13 ff; 6:35; 7:37). It is said of the heavenly bliss, "They shall hunger no more; neither thirst any more" (Re 7:16,17; compare Isa 49:10).

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἀστατέω (astateo) is derived from ἄστατος (unstable) and means to be unsettled or homeless. It conveys a sense of wandering without a fixed abode, as seen in 1 Corinthians 4:11. The lexicons indicate a consistent meaning related to instability and vagabondage, without notable disagreements among the sources.
**† ἀστατέω, -ῶ
(< ἄστατος, unstable),
[in Aq.: Is 58:7 (LXX, ἄστεγος)*;]
to be unsettled, be homeless, lead a vagabond life (Cremer, 738 MM, s.v.): I Co 4:11.†
ἀστατέω, -ῶ; (ἄστατος unstable, strolling about; cf. ἀκατάστατος) ; to wander about, to rove without a settled abode, [A. V. to have no certain dwelling-place]: 1 Co. iv. 11. (Anthol. Pal. appendix 39, 4.)
ἀστατέω. In Isai 58? Aquila substitutes ἀστατοῦντας for LXX aoréyous, while in Gen 415 Symmachus translates 13) U3 “a fugitive and a vagabond” by ἀνάστατος kal ἀκατάστατος. There would seem therefore to be a certain degree of ‘‘unsettlement’’ associated with the word; and accordingly Field (4Vv¢es, p. 170) proposes to render 1 Cor 4™ καὶ ἀστατοῦμεν by ‘‘and are vagabonds,”’ or ‘‘and leada vagabond life.’’ Grimm gives no profane warrant but a passage in the Anthology. We can add Vettius Valens, p- 116%; the entrance of Mercury into a certain horoscope will produce πρακτικοὶ... καὶ εὐεπίβολοι kal φρόνιμοι καὶ ἐπαφρόδιτοι, πολύκοιτοι δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ πολὺ ἀστατοῦντες περὶ τοὺς γάμους, ‘‘very inconstant.” He has the adj. p. 575 ἄστατος Kal ἐπίφοβος διάξει ‘he will live an unsettled life and liable to panic.” It occurs also in Epicurus 6510 τὴν δὲ τύχην ἄστατον ὁρᾶν (Linde Z/ic. p. 36, where…
