고린도후서 6:14-7:1 본문보기
Christians are inevitable to live in this world alongside those who do not believe. Therefore, the lifestyle that is required of a Christian is not a detached life with non-believers, but a distinguished life.
하나님의 성도라도 이 세상에서는 믿지 않는 사람들과 함께 살 수밖에 없습니다. 그래서 성도들에게 요구되는 삶은 불신자들과 분리된 삶이 아니라 구별된 삶입니다.
Thinking & Understanding
Paul tells the believers not to be yoked (bound together) with unbelievers. He goes further and makes five comparisons to emphasize this point: righteousness/lawlessness, light/darkness, Christ/Belial, believer/unbeliever, and temple of God/idols. When Paul says, “Do not be yoked with unbelievers,” it does not mean that Christians should not even associate with unbelievers. It means that we should avoid the things unbelievers do that can make our bodies and our souls unclean and damage our faith – things such as worshiping idols and living sexual and greedy lives (6:14 - 7:1).
바울은 성도들에게 믿지 않는 자들과 멍에를 함께 메지 말라고 합니다. 그리고 다섯 번이나 유사한 대조를 반복하여(정의/불의, 빛/어둠, 그리스도/벨리알, 신자/불신자, 하나님의 성전/우상) 그것을 강조합니다. 여기서 ‘불신자와 멍에를 함께 메지 말아야 한다’는 의미는 성도는 믿지 않는 사람들과는 사귀지도, 어떤 일을 함께 하지도 말아야 한다는 것이 아닙니다. 다만 그들이 행하는 우상숭배나 성적인 문란, 탐욕적인 삶 등 성도의 몸과 영혼을 더럽혀서 신앙을 훼손하는 것들을 피해야 한다는 것입니다(6:14-7:1).
What Lesson is God Teaching Me?
When everything is unclean, the only strength that can keep us clean is the fear of God (7:1). Fear God every moment of the day, so that we can be perfected in holiness.
모든 더러움에서 우리 자신을 깨끗하게 지킬 수 있는 힘은 매순간 하나님을 두려워(경외)하는 것입니다(7:1). 오늘도 매 순간 하나님께 거룩한 삶을 드릴 수 있도록 온전히 하나님을 경외하십시오.
Tip 1
6:14–7:1 Paul’s call for Church discipline as an expression of repentance. This section brings Paul’s argument in 2:14–7:1 to its culmination by giving the second, concrete application of what it will mean for the Corinthians to “widen [their] hearts” toward Paul amid the current controversy in Corinth.
Tip 2
6:15 Belial. This name for Satan is not found elsewhere in the OT or NT but was used in the Judaism of Paul’s day. Derived from one of Satan’s characteristics (Dt 13:13), it was often used in contexts that stress Satan’s activity as an opponent of God, which fits Paul’s concern with his opponents.
Lord, help me be aware of God who is always watching every second of every day.
