We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;

διωκόμενοι diōkomenoi “being persecuted”

ἐδίωκεν ediōken “he was persecuting”

But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

διώκομαι; diōkomai “am I persecuted?”

I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.
