바울의 뇌리에 새겨진 이름들
2024.9.10.
(롬16:1-26)
1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea. 2 I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many people, including me. 3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus. 4 They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them. 5 Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia. 6 Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was. 8 Greet Ampliatus, whom I love in the Lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys. 10 Greet Apelles, tested and approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus. 11 Greet Herodion, my relative. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord. 12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord. 13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brothers with them. 15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the saints with them. 16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send greetings. 17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. 21 Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my relatives. 22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings. Erastus, who is the city's director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. 24 Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings. Erastus, who is the city's director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. 25 Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him--

바울 자신을 포함하여 12명의 이름으로 AD57년 고린도에서 안부를 묻고 있다
오늘 로마에 있지만 칭찬하지 않을 수 없는 26명
아직 고린도를 비롯하여 로마시 외에 있는 바울을 뺀 11명 이름의 언급
그리하여 역사가 존재하는 한
기독교가 존재하는 한
그들의 이름은 하늘의 별과 같이 빛나게 되어
로마서를 읽는 자마다 그 이름을 듣게 하고 있음을 본다
[단12:3]
지혜 있는 자는
궁창의 빛과 같이 빛날 것이요
많은 사람을
옳은 데로 돌아오게 한 자는
별과 같이 영원토록 비취리라
호사유피인사유명(虎死留皮人死遺名)이라 하였는데
나는 어떠려나...???
아마도 현재 나를 아는 사람들이 역사상에서 사라진다면
나라는 존재 역시
사라지겠지...
하지만 그럴지라도
나는 내 주님 기억해 주시는 것만으로
내가 천국에 도착하는 것만으로도
현세에서의 무명무광(無名無光)을 상관(相關)짖지 아니하리라
다만 나는 매일의 숙제를 해 가며
나를 존재하신 이의 이끄심을 믿고 바라며 살아가겠다는 다짐을 하며 또 주어진 오늘의 호흡을 가다듬는다

(1)
부름 받아 나선 이 몸 어디든지 가오리다
괴로우나 즐거우나 주만 따라 가오리니
어느 누가 막으리까 죽음인들 막으리까
어느 누가 막으리까 죽음인들 막으리까
(2)
이골 골짝 빈들에도 복음 들고 가오리다
소돔 같은 거리에도 사랑 안고 찾아가서
종의 몸에 지닌 것도 아낌 없이 드리리다
종의 몸에 지닌 것도 아낌 없이 드리리다
(3)
존귀 영광 모든 권세 주님 홀로 받으소서
멸시 천대 십자가는 제 가지고 가오리다
이름 없이 빛도 없이 감사하며 섬기리다
이름 없이 빛도 없이 감사하며 섬기리다 아멘
