Abstract

Interpreters have often struggled to account for the way in which the author of James employs the figure of Job as an example of ὑπομονή (Jas 5:11). Since a “steadfast” or “patient Job” is clearly incongruous with the book of Job, the Testament of Job is often forwarded as the preferred source of James’ Joban tradition. This article argues that James’ language of ὑπομονή should be read against its wider Greco-Roman literary background, and when done so, the Greek term emerges as an active, aggressive virtue, best rendered “enduring resistance.” The article posits that the author of James has reread the book of Job within this Greco-Roman literary framework, resulting in a congruent, though thoroughly Hellenistic, reading of Septua-gint Job in which the virtue of endurance takes on a newfound centrality.

约伯的忍耐(雅5:11b)
口译员经常很难解释《詹姆斯》一书的作者以乔布斯为例ὑπ¦Βμ¦Βή (雅5:11)。由于“坚定”或“耐心的工作”显然与《工作书》不一致,《工作遗嘱》经常被转发为詹姆斯的《工作传统》的首选来源。本文认为詹姆斯的语言ὑπ¦Βμ¦Βή 应该在其更广泛的希腊罗马文学背景下阅读,当这样做时,希腊语术语表现为一种积极、侵略性的美德,最好表现为“持久的抵抗”。文章认为,《詹姆斯》的作者在这个希腊罗马文学框架内重读了《乔布斯》一书,阅读Septua gint Job,在这本书中,忍耐的美德占据了新的中心地位。
