A Verdictive Speech-Act Reading of Forensic Justification in Romans: δικαιόω as a Verdict of Acquittal

Kim, Myongil·2026·Korean Reformed Journal

Abstract

이 논문은 로마서의 칭의와 관련된 동사 δικαιόω를 오스틴(J. L. Austin)의 판정(verdictive) 화행의 관점에서 분석하고, 이 동사가 죄인에 대한 하나님의 무죄 판정임을 주장한다. 오스틴의 판정은 증거와 근거에 기반하여 지위를 결정하는 사법적 발화로서, 그 성립을 위해 권위(A)와 형식(B)의 적정 조건, 그리고 판정의 정의 자체에 내재된 근거(C) 요건을 요구한다. 구약에서히필형 קי󰕑󰙃󰕙와 칠십인역 및 제2성전기 문헌은 이 판정을 충족시킨다. 이와 관련된 동사인 로마서의 δικαιόω를 분석하면, 하나님은 최고의 재판장으로서 권위 조건을, 그리스도의 순종은 형식·완전성 조건을, 화목제물(3:25)과 속죄제물(8:3)은 근거 조건을 충족시킨다. 특히 ‘경건하지 않은 자를 의롭다 하시는’(4:5) 역설과 8:33-34의 법정 장면은 판정 화행이다. 결론적으로 개혁주의의 법정적·전가적 칭의에 대한 이해가 라이트(N. T. Wright)의 언약적 신실성 해석보다 δικαιόω의 판정적 성격을 설명하는 데 더 적합하다.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
