have to be rendered actively in many languages. Frequently the best way to do this is to use an indefinite third person plural form, such as “They [habitually] afflict us …” for We are afflicted, for example. The position of in every way in the Greek sentence gives emphasis to these words. In every way indicates the extent of the suffering: “We are afflicted with all kinds of hardships.” TEV inserts the words “often” and “sometimes” in order to indicate that such troubles are not always present everywhere.
