This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

20. κλέος occurs nowhere else in the N.T. and only once in the LXX., Job 28:22, where it means “fame.” Here it means that there is no credit, nothing which men count heroic in patient submission to punishment which is deserved. κολαφιζόμενοι from κόλαφος a fist, so “to buffet.” Cf. Mat 26:67; Mar 14:65; 1Co 4:11; 2Co 12:7 but it is not found in the LXX. nor in classical Greek.
