Fight the good fight 선한 싸움을 싸우다 (디모데후서 4:6-7)

성경구절

“For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” “전제와 같이 내가 벌써 부어지고 나의 떠날 시각이 가까웠도다 나는 선한 싸움을 싸우고 나의 달려갈 길을 마치고 믿음을 지켰으니.”

“Fight the good fight”는 성과에 상관없이 곤란을 무릎쓰며 애쓴다는 은유로써 쓰입니다.

기원과 적용

과거 30년 동안 사도바울은 복음을 전하기 위해 아시아와 유럽을 넘어 여행했습니다. 그의 삶은 설교자로써, 전투가로써 그리고 경주자로써 비유될 수 있습니다. 그의 삶을 보면, 영적 전쟁에서 선한 싸움을 싸웠고, 그의 믿음이 공격 받을 때에도 굳건하게 서 있었습니다. “Fight the good fight”는 성과에 상관없이 곤란을 무릎쓰고 애쓴다는 은유로 쓰여집니다. 이기던지 지던지, 그는 선한싸움을 싸웠습니다. 이것은 1992년 대선에서 낙선된 전 조지부쉬 대통령을 포함한 미국의 정치인들에게 자주 쓰여지는 표현이되었습니다.

예시

You need to know how to fight a good fight in your career. 당신은 당신의 경력을 위해 어떻게 선한 싸움을 싸울 것인지 알 필요가 있다.
