저 높은 곳을 향하여

9 There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord’s people. 1 성도를 섬기는 일에 대하여는 내가 너희에게 쓸 필요가 없나니 2 For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action. 2 이는 내가 너희의 원함을 앎이라 내가 너희를 위하여 마게도냐인들에게 아가야에서는 일 년 전부터 준비하였다는 것을..

The Collection for the Lord’s People 8 And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 1 형제들아 하나님께서 마게도냐 교회들에게 주신 은혜를 우리가 너희에게 알리노니 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 2 환난의 많은 시련 가운데서 그들의 넘치는 기쁨과 극심한 가난이 그들의 풍성한 연보를 넘치도록 하게 하였느니라 3 For I testify that th..

7 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. 1 그런즉 사랑하는 자들아 이 약속을 가진 우리는 하나님을 두려워하는 가운데서 거룩함을 온전히 이루어 육과 영의 온갖 더러운 것에서 자신을 깨끗하게 하자 Paul’s Joy Over the Church’s Repentance 고린도 교회의 회개를 기뻐하다 2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted ..

6 As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. 1 우리가 하나님과 함께 일하는 자로서 너희를 권하노니 하나님의 은혜를 헛되이 받지 말라 2 For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. 2 이르시되 내가 은혜 베풀 때에 너에게 듣고 구원의 날에 너를 도왔다 하셨으니 보라 지금은 은혜 받을 만한 때요 보라 지금은 구원의 날이로다 Paul’s Hardships 3 We put no ..

Awaiting the New Body 1For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 1 만일 땅에 있는 우리의 장막 집이 무너지면 하나님께서 지으신 집 곧 손으로 지은 것이 아니요 하늘에 있는 영원한 집이 우리에게 있는 줄 아느니라 2Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, 2 참으로 우리가 여기 있어 탄식하며 하늘로부터 오는 우리 처소로 덧입기를 간절히 사모하노라 3because when we..

1 Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 Th..

1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? 1 우리가 다시 자천하기를 시작하겠느냐 우리가 어찌 어떤 사람처럼 추천서를 너희에게 부치거나 혹은 너희에게 받거나 할 필요가 있느냐 2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 2 너희는 우리의 편지라 우리 마음에 썼고 뭇 사람이 알고 읽는 바라 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, w..

2 1 So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you. 1 내가 다시는 너희에게 근심 중에 나아가지 아니하기로 스스로 결심하였노니 2 For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved? 2 내가 너희를 근심하게 한다면 내가 근심하게 한 자 밖에 나를 기쁘게 할 자가 누구냐 3 I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you w..

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all his holy people throughout Achaia: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise to the God of All Comfort 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts..

The Collection for the Lord’s People 16 Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. 3 Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve an..
