오늘의 단상_사람앞에 놓인 3대 유혹(1)

Here is a structured discussion of the three temptations, incorporating relevant Bible verses and their Korean translations using the King James Version (KJV) and the King James Korean Revised Version (흠정역):

1. Introduction to Temptations

Temptations are a significant theme in the Bible, illustrating the struggle between the natural and the spiritual. The temptations of Christ highlight this struggle in His earthly ministry.

2. The First Temptation: Lust of the Flesh

• KJV: "And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread." (Matthew 4:2-3)
• Korean: "그가 사십 일을 밤낮으로 금식하신 후에 주리신지라. 시험하는 자가 와서 그에게 말하되 네가 만일 하나님의 아들이거든 명하여 이 돌들이 빵이 되게 하라 하니" (마태복음 4:2-3)

3. The Second Temptation: Lust of the Eyes

• KJV: "Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee..." (Matthew 4:5-6)
• Korean: "그때 마귀가 그를 데리고 거룩한 도시로 가서 성전 꼭대기에 세우고 그에게 말하되 네가 만일 하나님의 아들이거든 뛰어내리라. 기록되었으되 그가 너를 위하여 그의 천사들에게 명령하사..." (마태복음 4:5-6)

4. The Third Temptation: Pride of Life

• KJV: "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." (Matthew 4:8-9)
• Korean: "마귀가 다시 그를 데리고 지극히 높은 산으로 가서 세상의 모든 왕국들과 그 영광을 보여 주며 그에게 말하되 네가 만일 엎드려 내게 경배하면 이 모든 것을 네게 주리라 하니" (마태복음 4:8-9)

5. The Nature of Temptations

Temptations appeal to basic human desires: physical needs, visual allure, and the desire for power and pride. These are reflected in the temptations faced by Christ and are common to all humanity.

6. Overcoming Temptations

• KJV: "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able..." (1 Corinthians 10:13)
• Korean: "사람에게 공통된 것 외에는 아무 유혹도 너희에게 닥치지 아니하였나니 하나님은 신실하시어 너희가 감당할 수 있는 것 이상으로 유혹당하는 것을 허락하지 아니하시고..." (고린도전서 10:13)

7. The Role of Scripture in Resisting Temptation

Jesus used Scripture to counter the devil's temptations, demonstrating its power and importance in spiritual battles.

8. The Example of Christ

Christ's victory over temptation serves as a model for believers, showing that it is possible to resist even the most alluring temptations through faith and reliance on God.

9. The Spiritual vs. the Natural

The temptations illustrate the contrast between the natural human inclinations and the spiritual path that Christ exemplifies.

10. Conclusion

Understanding the nature of temptations and the example set by Christ equips believers to face their own challenges with confidence and faith.
