1 | filled Holy Spirit, or to walk in spirit | Rom 8:9 | Ray | 153709 | ||
Hi terrib, In thinking about these things through the years, the scribes and the translators have interpretted certain things differently. For instance Romans 8:10, NASB, where it speaks of the spirit [sic] is alive even though the body is dead. (Because of the righteousness of Christ who is in us). And verse 16, the Spirit Himself, NASB, beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God. For we have received a spirit, NASB, of adoption as sons. 1 John 3:24 in the KJV would not read very well if it said, "by the Spirit whom he hath given us." And yet that is the way that the NASB and NKJ also reads. I believe that it makes more sense to keep spirit in the lower case for 1 John 3:24, and the next verses, 1 John 4:1,2, and 3. And verse 6, "By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, 1 John 3:24 talks about the witness of the Spirit of Christ, some think the spirit of sanctification, but not in this case. (see also 4:13) ('which' and 'whom' are the same word in the Greek) 1 John 4:1,2,3,6: Yes all these should be spirit, (except in v2 "Spirit of God"), for these spirits are talking about men's spirits or the spirits of a doctrines, or possibly angels, not Divine Spirit. ref: (Galatians 1:8 KJV) "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." These also would be spirits. terrib |

Hi Terrib, Romans 15:15, NASB, says, "For you have not received a spirit of slavery, leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba, Father!" 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." In the same way 1 John 3:24 talks of this spirit that we received, which was given to us. Romans 8:16 tells us that "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit" and 1 John 4:2 tells us that "By this you know the *spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;" Romans 8:16 affirms that we are children of God and 1 John 4:2 affirms that we know the spirit of God, for we confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. 2) In talking about the witness of the Spirit of Christ you are thinking about the Spirit of truth, the Helper, that was sent and would come. However, I don't see the Spirit of truth as being "given". I see the spirit of truth [sic] as given in 1 John 4:6. 3) I see His spirit given in 1 John 4:13. From the heart, Ray |
