自我与圣灵——以《加拉太书》5:16-18为例

The Self and The Holy Spirit:A Comment on Galatians 5:16-18

通过诠释《加拉太书》5:16-18,本文回应了保罗人论中自我与圣灵的关系问题。通过回顾当代保罗人论研究的发展,本文指出保罗所理解的自我并不是身体一灵魂一灵性的三元复合结构,而是一个身体性的整体。这个身体性的自我既在圣灵里经历苦难,盼望终末的来临;同时也与圣灵共同参与得享新生命的平安与喜乐。在这个意义上,《加拉太书》5:16-18既是对天启论的表达,也发挥了道德劝勉的功能。

Based on an analysis on Galatians 5 : 16-18, this article tries to make a response to the relationship of the self and the Holy Spirit in Pauline anthropology. Reviewing the development of contemporary biblical studies on Pauline anthropology, the article points that the self for Paul is not a ternarystructure of body-soul-spirit, but a wholistic embodiment. This self of embodiment hoping the advent of eschaton experiences the sufferings in the Spirit, while it also participates in the new life of joy and peace with the Spirit.Hence, Gal 5: 16-18 is both apocalyptical and exhortative.
