Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

προπάσχω, “«suffer previously.” To the citations in 1,58 for this NT dar. eip. (1 Thess 2) we may add Menander Fyagm. p. 200, fr. 696. [An interesting instance of the comp? προσπάσχω occurs in the letter P Lond 1929 (mid. iv/a.D.), which the editor thinks may have been written by the great Athanasius himselr. After referring to the bad health of his mother, the writer proceeds—ayav οὖν [μέγιστος πε]ρὶ ἐμοῦ [ἐστὶ] πίροϊσπάσχοντος . . ., ‘‘so that there is very great anxiety concerning me, suffering [this Ὁ] in addition ” (Ed.).]

Already suffered (4310) propascho

Already suffered (4310) (propascho from pros = before + pascho = experience a sensation/suffer pain experience something that falls to one's lot good or ill to suffer, to be in pain) is used only here in Scripture and means to undergo hardship previously or suffer before, to be affected beforehand, to experience before. Paul recalls the physical suffering he and Silas had undergone at Philippi, as recorded by Luke in Acts 16:23-24... And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely; and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks. It should be kept in mind that a Roman flogging was no light matter and surely was an experience not easily forgotten. As the word propascho does not in itself imply that the sufferings were unjust, the apostle adds, that they were shamefully mistreated.
