保羅宣教行跡(地鐵版)

From here

第四堂附加資料

A) 林前一26 // 耶九23
希臘文英譯:Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man (ho sophos) boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man (ho ischyros) boast in his strength, and let not the rich man (ho plousios) boast in his wealth.

B)「有尊貴地位的」(eugeneis)
"For those who are not well-born (ouk eu gegonosin), whether on the father's or the mother's side, have an indelible disgrace in their low birth, which accompanies them throughout their lives, and offers to anyone desiring to use it a ready subject of reproach and insult...A goodly treasure, then, is honourable birth (eugeneia), and such a man may speak his mind freely, a thing which should be held of the highest account by those who wish to have issue lawfully begotten. "(Plutarch, The Education of Children [De liberis educandis] 2 )
C)筆記補充(1.2.2)
「那沒有的」(tous mē echontas, 林前十一22)

D)二世紀希臘哲學家Celsus對初期教會的攻擊:
"Their injunctions are like this. 'Let no one educated, no one wise, no one sensible draw near. For these abilities are thought by us to be evils. But as for anyone ignorant, anyone stupid, anyone uneducated, anyone who is a child, let him come boldly.' By the fact that they themselves admits that these people are worthy of their God, they show that they want and are able to convince only the foolish, dishonorable and stupid, and only slaves, women, and little children."(Origen, Contra Celsus 3.44)
E)亞該古(Achaicus, 林前十六17)

F)以都拉(Erastus, 羅十六23)
書信中的以都拉─城裏的財務官(ho oikonomos tēs poleōs)
碑文中的以都拉(公元一世紀)─拉丁文片段:
...]Erastus pro aedelit[at]e s(ua) p(ecunia) stravit
...] 以都拉‧因其‧營造司職位‧自‧費‧舖路
哥林多城的最高級官員為執政官(duumviri, 每年選出二人擔任),其次是營造司(aedile, 亦是每年選出二人),付責管理、維修公共建築,以及統籌各項公益及節慶活動。

A) 保羅「第二次」宣教行程地圖:


B) 非友誼關係的信件往來才須明示謝意:
"...I may dispense with writing to you with a great show of thanks; for it is to those who are not friends that we must give thanks in words. I trust that I may maintain myself in some degree of serenity and be able, if not to give you an equivalent, at least to show some small return for your affection towards me" (P. Mert. 12 [公元58年,埃及], excerpt from Gerald W. Peterman, "Thankless Thanks: Epistolary Social Convention in Phil 4:10-20," TynBul 42 [1991]: 262)
C)受恩者以喜樂的心接受恩惠,也是一種回饋:
Seneca, De Beneficiis
"if a benefit is acknowledged, it is returned."(1.1.3)"In fact, the very moment you have been placed under obligation, you can match favour for favour with any man if you wish to do so; for he who receives a benefit gladly has already returned it. " (2.31.1-2)"although we say that he who receives a benefit gladly has repaid it, we, nevertheless, also bid him return some gift similar to the one he received." (2.34) 

D)保羅在腓立比時也有工作:
 “among whom (腓立比教會) the most fortunate Paul labored (laboravit)” (Polycarp, To the Philippians 11.3 )

公元四世紀保羅書信註釋作者Ambrosiaster在評論林後十一23時稱:
“The other apostles laboured, but not as much as Paul. He used to earn his living with his own hands, from early morning until about eleven o’clock, and from then until four in the afternoon he would engage in public disputation with such energy that he usually persuade those who spoke in opposition to him.” (Commentaries on Romans and 1-2 Corinthians, trans. and ed. Gerald L. Bray, [ACT; Downers Grove: IVP, 2009], 254=黃錫木編。石敏敏譯。《ACCS古代基督信仰聖經註釋叢書:哥林多前後書》。台北:校園書房,2005)
