At Rom 15:31 in P⁴⁶, Paul prays that his “ministry for Jerusalem” (the so-called collection) might be “acceptable through the saints (διὰ τῶν ἁγίων).” The rest of the manuscript and Patristic witnesses preserve the more typically Pauline τοῖς ἁγίοις. This singular reading has never been included in the apparatus of the hand-editions of the Novum Testamentum Graece and thus has been unknown to commentators on Romans since the publication of P⁴⁶ in the 1930s. We argue, based on the habits of the scribe of P⁴⁶, that its singular witness of διὰ τῶν ἁγίων was also the reading of its exemplar and that this earliest preserved reading is more likely than not the earlier of the two possible readings. We then offer several ways of understanding Rom 15:31 in light of its priority, one of which rewrites our understanding of Paul's relationship with the city of Jerusalem as a whole. It understands the saints in Jerusalem as the agents through which the collection, broadened in scope toward the end of Paul's journey to include all of the poor in Jerusalem, including those who have not believed in Jesus, would be administered.","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68867713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most now conclude that Paul did not require these slaves to remain in their calling (slavery) but advised them to “make use of freedom.” This reading, however, does not fully appreciate Paul's rhetoric in its Greco-Roman context or its reception among the Corinthians. Nor does it capture the social realities of slavery and manumission as both Paul and the Corinthians understood them. Paul's comments about slavery take on a different light if we recognize that both Paul and the Corinthians presumed that slaves would indeed take freedom given the chance, because slaves did not have a choice. This social reality, I will suggest, helps account for the rhetorical nature and the sociocultural context of v. 21, and in turn sets it within Paul's broader concerns in 1 Cor 7. The textured reading I propose is that Paul's comments, though rooted in the reality of slavery, do not advise slaves concerning slavery or freedom. Slavery or freedom as such are not at issue in 1 Cor 7. Rather, Paul uses a diatribal and hence primarily hypothetical argument about slavery and manumission for other instructional purposes, and this reflects the conventions of Stoic moral instruction on indifference.","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68866806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paul himself taught what might be called a traditional Jewish theology of charitable giving. He describes generosity to humans as an act of service for God that will bring happy returns in the future. He uses the cultic and financial metaphors that are common in other Jewish discussions of charity, and he also quotes biblical texts that speak of God's protection of the generous. This article concludes by noting the implications of this largely unrecognized point of continuity between Paul, Jesus, and the prior biblical tradition for situating the collection on the larger landscape of Paul's theology and for understanding how Paul develops his understanding of charity in light of the Christ.","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68867682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Did Paul Plan To Escape From Prison? (Philippians 1:19–26) 保罗计划过越狱吗?(腓立比书1:19-26)

This article proposes a fresh solution for Paul's situation, namely, that at the time of writing, Paul, with help from friends at his point of incarceration (1:13; 4:22), was considering escape from prison dependent on the outcome of his forthcoming trial. To make this case, I first explicate the dilemma the text poses. Then, I discuss other possible solutions, noting that all have limitations. I then outline the elements of a possible escape plan, demonstrating how it fulfils the requirements of Philippians, the historical setting in which escape was not uncommon, and Paul's thought and mission that includes his previous escape (2 Cor 11:32). I finally counter possible objections to the idea, arguing that none of them are terminal. I argue not that Paul necessarily used escape to leave his imprisonment but that escape is a plausible suggestion to be considered alongside a range of others by students of Paul and Philippians.","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68866872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay explores what may be suggested about Paul's earlier life. In his apostolic life Paul says he was weak (άσθενής) and humiliated (ταπεινός), and the essay argues that this is a description of his contrasting this new life with how his life was before. In his apostolic life, Paul chose a downward mobility to empower his evangelism of the impoverished Gentiles of cities, becoming like those he sought to convert and in that way manifesting the similar path of identification of Jesus himself.","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68866940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using some new tools and insights, this article will clarify and develop a once-dominant interpretation—that Paul speaks about himself in Rom 7 in a manner that is representative of and normative for Christian experience. In a practical application of his already/not yet eschatology, Paul discloses the psychological battles of a discordant self ravaged by sin but at the same time testifies to signs of a new self united to Christ. That said, Paul's real focus here is on the Law. Paul's “I” becomes the access point into his deepest reflections on the Law. As is widely recognized, Paul seeks to exonerate the Law in its connections with Sin and Death. But Paul's real motive in this exoneration—to connect the Law to the eschatological life-giving work of the Spirit—is often overlooked. Finally, Paul's reflections on the Law, the self, and the Spirit provide a space for reflection on Christian spiritual formation.","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68867032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cursed by God? Galatians 3:13, Social Status, and Atonement Theory in the Context of Early Jewish Readings of Deuteronomy 21:23 被上帝诅咒了?加拉太书3:13,在早期犹太人对申命记21:23的解读背景下的社会地位和赎罪理论

This, it is claimed, was the mechanism by which Jesus atoned for sin, as God transferred the curse resting on humans to Jesus, who bore it vicariously. There is no evidence, however, that Second Temple Jews read Deut 21 as cursing all crucifixion victims. Rather, a wealth of evidence suggests that they understood the Law to curse only those crucified victims who were truly guilty of capital offenses against God. Therefore, there is good reason to believe that Paul, himself a Second Temple Jew convinced of Jesus's innocence, did not believe that Jesus was cursed by God solely by virtue of his manner of death on a cross. Thus, Paul's language in Gal 3:13 when he speaks of Christ “becoming a curse” rather than becoming “accursed” is significant. It refers to Jesus's humiliation and execration at the hands of his fellow Jews, not his becoming vicariously cursed by God. It is thus not an explanation of the mechanism by which Christ achieved atonement. This reading receives virtually unanimous support from Patristic interpretations.","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68867244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultic Theosis in Paul and Second Temple Judaism 保罗与第二圣殿犹太教的神权崇拜

In this article, we argue that the salvation-historical and apocalyptic aspects of Paul's thought can be integrated by means of what might be called “cultic theosis.” We begin by looking at the way the cult figured prominently in Jewish eschatological hopes (e.g., Isa 2:2–3; 56:3–7; Ezek 40–48; Mal 3:1–3). We also show that in certain texts it was linked to participation in divine realities or what could broadly be described as “theosis” (e.g., Sir 50:1–22; Philo, Somn. 2.188–89; 2.231–32; 4Q511 XXXV, 3–5; 1QHᵃ XI, 21–22; 4Q400 II, 1). It is against this background that we investigate Paul's cultic language in 1 Corinthians. Not only does Paul view the church as the eschatological temple (1 Cor 3:16–17; 6:19), according to him it is through the ongoing cultic life of the church that believers participate in the body of “the man from heaven” (1 Cor 10:16–17; 15:47–49) and enter into the presence of heavenly realities (1 Cor 11:10). Moreover, our survey of Jewish texts illuminates Paul's account of the Lord's Supper (1 Cor 11:23–26), which itself evokes cultic imagery (e.g., Exod 24:3–11). Specifically, it explains the way Paul describes participation (κοινωνία) in Christ through the eucharist (1 Cor 10:16–17) in terms of Israel's sacrificial worship, through which the people become “sharers” (κοινωνοί) in the altar (1 Cor 10:18).","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68867313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Louis Martyn, in his seminal commentary on Galatians, asks a question we each hear almost every day: “What time is it?” However, this seemingly simple question highlights a significant point of discussion between Pauline interpreters who stress discontinuity as the center of Paul's gospel and others who stress continuity as the heart of Paul's gospel. Time is a crucial motif in Galatians as Paul weaves “the present evil age,” “new creation,” and “the fullness of time” into his letter. This article investigates the question of time in Paul's autobiographical reflections in Gal 1:11–2:21. It begins by examining the basic temporal elements in Gal 1:11–17. Then, after a general discussion of the metaphorical nature of time, it examines how time is metaphorically structured in Paul's autobiographical reflections in Gal 1–2. Finally, it offers three observations about Paul's view of time within Galatians.","PeriodicalId":29841,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68867379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
