Printable Mode2 Corinteni 10:1
|
10:1 Eu, Pavel, va rog, prin blandetea si bunatatea lui Hristos, eu, cel smerit cand sunt de fata in mijlocul vostru, si plin de indrazneala impotriva voastra, cand sunt departe, Va rog. Gr. parakaleo, ,,a ruga staruitor”, ,,a indemna”, ,,a sfatui”. Capitolul acesta introduce a treia sectiune majora a epistolei, constand din capitolele 10-13. In capitolele 1-7, Pavel staruie asupra puterii si slavei slujbei apostolice; in capitolele 8 si 9, vorbeste despre strangerea de ajutoare pentru saracii din Ierusalim, in capitolele 10,1 la 13,10, este prezentat Pavel insusi ca apostol. Aici Pavel apara autoritatea lui apostolica si o pune in contrast cu cea a potrivnicilor sai, ,,apostolii mincinosi” (cap. 11,13), care tulburau biserica din Corint. Vezi la v. 22. In primele noua capitole, Pavel se adreseaza majoritatii credincioase si se face doar o referire trecatoare la invatatorii mincinosi si la unii care se pare ca se afla sub influenta lor (cap. 2,17; 3,1; 5,12). Aici, el ii avertizeaza pe corinteni impotriva acestor ,,apostoli mincinosi” din mijlocul lor. El isi dadea deja seama de influenta lor periculoasa in biserica, iar Tit ii adusese fara indoiala un raport despre lucrarea lor daunatoare. Pentru majoritatea bisericii, el nu avea decat cuvinte de afectiune, indemn si pace. Dar in ciuda instructiunilor sale, elementul iudaizant (vezi la cap. 11,22) nu fusese invins. Scriindu-i bisericii corintene aproape de sfarsitul primului secol, Clement din Roma a gasit active aceleasi elemente antagoniste. Cu toate acestea, mustrarea din partea lui Pavel pentru acest grup insubordonat pare, cel putin pentru un timp, sa fi eliberat biserica de controversa starnita de ei. Ferma lui tratare a situatiei n-a lasat nici o indoiala in mintea credinciosilor corinteni cu privire la autoritatea lui ca apostol. Capitolele de incheiere din 2 Corinteni sunt bogate in sfaturi pentru cei care au de dat piept astazi cu elemente discordante similare. O intelegere a naturii schimbarii din acest punct al epistolei este esentiala pentru o corecta interpretare a aceea ce urmeaza. Persoana intai plural ,,noi” face loc persoanei intai singular ,,eu”. Primele cuvinte in textul grecesc sunt intens personale si emfatice: ,,eu insumi, Pavel” (cf. Galateni 5,2; Efeseni 3,1; Filimon 19). Apostolul pune acum intreaga greutate a autoritatii si personalitatii sale impotriva conducatorilor falsi, iudaizanti (vezi la 2 Corinteni 11,22). Ei il invinuisera de lasitate si timiditate (cap. 10.12), vorbire dispretuitoare (cap. 11,6), inteligenta si judecata indoielnice (v. 16-19). Dar ei sunt calauze mincinoase cu invataturi eronate si o ,,alta Evanghelie” (v. 4). Ei sunt niste laudarosi insolenti (v. 20.21), niste intrusi impertinenti (v. 15) si vinovati ca se impun credinciosilor (cap. 11,20). Dar, in cele din urma, a venit vremea socotelilor. Acum ei vor avea de-a face cu Pavel personal. In capitolele acestea, tonul sau general este de indignare si mustrare usturatoare. Uneori, el aproape ca se justifica pentru severitatea cu care trebuie sa spuna ceea ce trebuie spus. Nicaieri in alta parte in scrierile lui Pavel nu exista vreun pasaj asemanator in spirit si metoda cu cel din cap. 10-13. Blandetea. Gr. praotes, ,,delicatete”, ,,blandete”, ,,smerenie”. In ceea ce priveste un studiu asupra cuvantului inrudit praiis, vezi la Matei 5,5. Bunatatea. Gr. epieikeia, ,,blandete”, ,,delicatete”, ,,sinceritate”. Probabil ,,bunatate” exprima cel mai bine ce inseamna epieikeia, dar cu nuantele suplimentare de echitate si sinceritate pornite din iubire si devotament sincer. Pavel prefera sa imite duhul bland si smerit al lui Hristos in purtarea sa cu oamenii si nu-i place deloc severitatea. Dar chiar si severitatea sa este marcata de umilinta. In v. 1-6, Pavel staruie pe langa corinteni sa nu-l constranga sa foloseasca masuri si cuvinte aspre impotriva lor. Astfel de arme sunt rareori cele mai eficace, iar folosirea lor poate fi indreptatita numai cand ,,blandetea si bunatatea” dau gres. Pavel e in drum spre Corint si, in curand, se va confrunta direct cu potrivnicii sai. Daca disciplina aspra e ceea ce ei doresc, el e pregatit sa o aplice. Apelul lui, desi e dur in ton, va inlatura – spera el – nevoia de cuvinte si mai aspre cand va fi prezent personal. Potrivnicii lui Pavel erau aroganti, indaratnici si increzuti. Ei interpretau gresit blandetea lui numind-o slabiciune, si bunatatea lui, lasitate. Ca urmare, ei erau insensibili la apelurile lui conciliante si indemnurile blande, ca de pilda cele din cap. 1-7. Singura cale de a ingenunchea dura lor multumire de sine era prin mustrarea, demascarea si expunerea din cap. 10-13. Cei care se considera extrem de importanti sunt de obicei insensibili si chiar dispretuiesc pe cei care au calitatile mai alese ale umilintei si blandetii. Pentru ei, pozitia si conducerea asigurate prin dominarea altora constituie cheia succesului. De aceea, Pavel explica faptul ca, desi ar fi preferat sa li se adreseze in spiritul blandetii, atitudinea lor l-a constrans sa foloseasca masuri mai aspre. Smerit. Gr. tapeinos, ,,modest”, ,,smerit”, aici intr-un sens care nu flateaza. Pavel face aluzie la ironiile potrivnicilor lor (v. 10; cf. cap. 12,5.7). Ei il luasera in bataie de joc, insinuand ca este un om slab si las. In plus, nu se temuse el tot timpul sa vina la Corint? Nu amanase el venirea pentru ca se temuse sa dea ochii cu ei? Nu compensase el timiditatea scriind scrisori severe? Indrazneala. [,,curajos”, KJV]. Gr. tharreo, ,,a fi plin de curaj”, ,,a fi plin de nadejde”, ,,a fi plin de indrazneala” (vezi v. 10). |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
