Abstract

Abstract Paul’s expression in 1Cor 15,37, γυμνὸς κόκκος, has nothing whatsoever to do with a Platonist naked soul or Stoic imagery of sowing and seeds. The context itself indicates that an immortal Platonic soul is not the reference of γυμνὸς κόκκος. The Platonist texts and the Stoic imagery of sowing and seeds do not resemble Paul’s affirmations in 1Cor 15,37. Instead, texts from Greek biology and agriculture are far more illuminating. The naked seed of 1Cor 15,37 are a metaphor for sown dead bodies. The context and comparative texts indicate Paul’s fundamental analogy: the naked seed is to the sown body as the plant body is to the body that will be.

一颗赤裸的种子:柏拉图主义,斯多葛主义,还是公元前15、37年的农业?
保罗在哥林多前书15章37节所说的γ - ν ν ς κόκκος,与柏拉图主义的赤裸灵魂或斯多葛派的播种和种子意象毫无关系。上下文本身表明,一个不朽的柏拉图式的灵魂并不是γ - μν ν ς κόκκος的参考。柏拉图主义的文本和斯多葛派关于播种和种子的意象并不像保罗在哥林多前书15章和37章中的断言。相反,希腊的生物学和农业文献更有启发性。哥林多前书15章37节赤裸的种子是一个比喻,比喻被播种的尸体。上下文和比较文本表明了保罗的基本类比:赤裸的种子之于播种的身体,就像植物的身体之于将来的身体一样。
