Abstract

Abstract Pauline scholars have long analysed the Jerusalem collection described in 1 Cor 16:1–4, 2 Cor 8–9 and Rom 15:25–29 to unveil Paul’s motivations, but only recently have they considered the economic implications and ramifications of the long-distance gift. Some have tried to associate the long-distance gift with several socio-economic contexts, such as economic inequality, prevalent poverty, patronage and/or gift exchange. This article, however, brings economic fluctuations to the fore to explicate 2 Cor 8:1–15 (esp. vv. 10–15), arguing that Paul’s chief rhetorical inducement to the Corinthians is the practical benefit of increasing their long-term resilience and survivability against the mutable economies facing most ordinary people through balanced exchanges among those of various economic statuses.

互惠和经济波动的高弹性
研究保罗的学者长期以来一直在分析哥林多前书16:1-4、哥林多后书8-9和罗马书15:25-29中描述的耶路撒冷收藏,以揭示保罗的动机,但直到最近他们才考虑到远距离礼物的经济含义和后果。有些人试图将远距离礼物与一些社会经济背景联系起来,例如经济不平等、普遍贫困、赞助和/或礼物交换。然而,这篇文章将经济波动带到最重要的位置,以解释哥林多后书8:1-15。10-15),他认为保罗对哥林多人的主要修辞诱导是通过各种经济地位的人之间的平衡交换,提高他们面对大多数普通人所面临的多变经济的长期弹性和生存能力的实际利益。
