摘要

在学术的历史中,哥林多后书6:15中的绰号bε λ α ρ被认为几乎毫无疑问是指撒旦或恶魔。然而,最近的研究呼吁重新审视保罗的魔鬼语言,这可以被置于其政治和宗教背景下,作为犹太人对罗马帝国和皇帝崇拜的恶魔化。这篇文章将进一步探究保罗的魔鬼语言,通过考察通过犹太启示录文学的方式,从希伯来圣经和七十世译本中的含义发展到保罗在哥林多后书6:15中使用的“bε λι α ρ”一词。这些文本表明了一个复杂的概念,即bε λι α ρ不仅表示恶魔的灵魂,如撒旦,而且经常表示受撒旦控制的人类,如反对上帝和他的人民的外国统治者。特别地,我认为这是在哥林多后书6:14-7:1中反帝国主义的背景下的情况,在那里,基督的对手,作为bε λ α ρ应该被理解为尼禄的参考,他在西比林神谕和以赛亚的升天和殉难中也被称为bε λ α α ρ。这个名称将阐明保罗对哥林多基督徒的沟通目标,在公元54年尼禄成为皇帝的同一年,哥林多被建立为亚该亚省帝国崇拜的中心,就在保罗写哥林多后书之前。

Reconsidering Bελιάρ: 2 Corinthians 6:15 in Its Anti-imperial Jewish Apocalyptic Context
In the history of scholarship, the epithet Bελιάρ in 2 Cor 6:15 has been considered almost unquestionably to be a reference to Satan or a demonic being. Recent studies however have called for a reexamination of Paul's language of the demonic, which can be situated in its political and religious contexts as Jewish Apocalyptic demonization of the Roman Empire and emperor cult. This article will further the inquiry into Paul's language of the demonic by examining how בליץל developed from its meanings in the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint by way of Jewish Apocalyptic literature into Paul's use of the term as Bελιάρ in 2 Cor 6:15. These texts evince a complex notion of Bελιάρ as denoting not only a demonic spirit such as Satan, but often also human referents controlled by Satan, such as foreign rulers who oppose God and his people. Particularly, I will argue that this is the case in the anti-imperial context of 2 Cor 6:14–7:1, where the opponent of Christ as Bελιάρ should be understood as a reference to Nero, who is known as Bελιάρ also in the Sibylline Oracles and the Ascension and Martyrdom of Isaiah. This designation will shed light on Paul's communicative goals to Christians at Corinth, which was established as the center of the Achaian Provincial imperial cult in the same year that Nero became emperor in A.D. 54, just prior to Paul writing 2 Corinthians.
