Affected Teaching
Here is another case of a wrong English word being used to convey the Greek. The word behind “fastings” is the word “nesteia” which is translated “fasting” in its nine uses in the New Testament. Acts 14:23 (KJV) And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. There is a perfectly good word for hunger which the Lord could have used and that is “limos.” Luke 15:17 (KJV) And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!  2 Corinthians 11:27 gives us both uses of both words and shows that they are different and how the modern versions botched this. 2 Corinthians 11:27 (KJV) In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger (limos) and thirst, in fastings (nesteia) often, in cold and nakedness. So we see that the correct rendering should be fastings and not hunger.
