   Sep 5, 2024 · Instead, these are metaphors for those who take from the needy and who oppress the helpless. The New Testament epistolary writers also used metaphor. Paul likens the Christian life to running a race (Galatians 5:7; 1 Corinthians 9:24) and uses wages as a metaphor for the consequences of sin (Romans 6:23).

   From Paul's usage of the word graphe and grapho elsewhere overwhelmingly being to the Old Testament, we may reasonably conclude that in 1 Cor 15:3 and 4, he is also making his basis on the Old Testament (if you include the times that Paul alludes to the Old Testament or quotes it without an introduction, the evidence is even more overwhelming that he is thinking of the Old Testament).

   Understanding Paul’s References. Once the Bible is read through the lens of “athletics,” the metaphor is found often in Paul’s writings (it is not found at all in the Gospels). Paul, as a Jew that understood the Hellenistic culture, was familiar with the Greek games – both in Olympia and Isthmia.

   Williams does not enter the detailed debates about how metaphors work, he only affirms his presuppositions. He works with the Aristotelian definition of metaphor (‘the application of an alien by transfer’, Poetics, 21.7) and considers that a metaphor is an aid toward the perception of a truth. Also, he does not explain his selection ...

   Jan 30, 2015 · New Testament. Both Jesus and Paul use “sleep” as a metaphor for death in the Bible. They would have been familiar with this metaphor from their knowledge of the Old Testament. The Greek word koimao (Strongs #2837) means “to sleep, to fall asleep, or to die”. Similarly the Greek word katheudo (Strongs #2518) means “sleep or sleeping ...

   Does the Bible use metaphors?

   • The Bible uses metaphors heavily, especially when talking about Christ. A metaphor claims that one thing is another thing. (This is a little different from a simile, which is an explicit comparison using the word like or as.)

   Why is Paul referring to the Old Testament and not a Christian document?

   • I conclude that he is referring to the Old Testament and not a Christian document because Paul uses the word graphe 14 times in his letters. 8 of these are followed by direct quotations of the Old Testament. Rom 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

   Jul 16, 2012 · He went for the gold and died trying to win it (Milavic 1992: 11; Gerand-Jean 1964). The Apostle Paul described the Christian life in terms of athletic metaphors. His goal was to win the “race” of the Christian life, not to lose it (Phil. 3:12-14; 1 Cor. 9:24-27; 2 Tim. 4:6-8). He died winning the race! Paul at Corinth.
