This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Famines and pestilences (loimoi kai limoi). Play on the two words pronounced just alike in the Koiné (itacism).
And terrors (phobēthra te). The use of te ... te in this verse groups the two kinds of woes. This rare word phobēthra is only here in the N.T. It is from phobeō, to frighten, and occurs only in the plural as here.
