195 THE LAST BEATITUDE. JOY SUFFERING IN (A, B, D, C) 49. Besides those two, there are other texts like Rom 5,3-5 (C, B ; kayxasuai with a nuance of “to rejoice”), Acts 5,41 ˜ (C, B), 2 Cor 4,17-18 (B, C, D, glory in the place of joy), 2 Cor 8,2 (B, C), 1 Thess 1,6.10 (B, C, D), 2 Thess 1,4-6 (C, B, D; egkayxasuai), Heb 10,32-36 (B, C, D). ß ˜ 2. Search for the Origin of the Form The main contribution of Nauck is not simply to have found and systematized the passages containing joy in suffering but to formulate the thesis that this topic may go back to Judaism 50. According to him, the concept of peirasmov, present in James and ¥ 1 Pet finds its roots in some OT passages with a call to thank God for trials undergone 51. Some of them are quoted by Nauck and Dupont 52, but the most complete analysis has been done by Millauer 53, who tried to gather texts which join suffering with joy from OT, intertestamental (IL) and rabbinical literature (RL), and from Qumran literature, even though the research in the latter corpus had yet to be finished. a) Old Testament The main OT texts which link suffering with joy are Job 5,17 (“ happy is the man whom God corrects”), Ps 94,12 (“Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord”), Dan 12,12 (“Blessed is he that waits ...”) and Tob 13,16 (“O blessed are they which love you, for they shall rejoice in Your peace: blessed are they who have been I have taken the notation used by DUPONT: A, B, C, D, instead of 49 Nauck’s : Ia,b, IIa,b, less effective in showing the structure. Cf. NAUCK, Freude, 70-73: such a particular tradition must have leaned 50 on another tradition handed down later. Cf. NAUCK, Freude, 73-74. But peirasmov as external test, occurs only ¥ 51 in Jas 1,2.12, 1Pt 1,6; 4.12, and Acts 20,19, where Paul talks about “trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews”. Cf. C. BIGG, The Epistles of St. Peter and St. Jude (Edinburgh 1987) 103. It is in no way a NT common theme. Cf. DUPONT, Béatitudes II, 339-341. 52 Cf. H. MILLAUER, Leiden als Gnade. Eine traditionsgeschichtliche 53 Untersuchung zur Leidenstheologie des ersten Petrusbriefes (Frankfurt am M 1976) 165-179, sorts texts about joy and suffering into four topics: joy after suffering, joy despite suffering, joy in suffering and joy in the Messianic age.
