1 | Can one have the Spirit of God? | 1 Cor 7:40 | Mommapbs | 108542 | ||
Greetings Ray, I think we are in agreement on 1 Cor 7:40, however . . . Re Eph 1:13-14 "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the *Holy *Spirit of promise, Who is given as a pledge..." Our sealing is a work of the Holy Spirit. To me, the verse is clearer when I see Holy Spirit AND Who instead of who. You wrote: "Whenever a gift, a pledge, a promise, is GIVEN, I think lower case spirit. When the Giver of the gift is spoken of I think of Spirit. Those are my thoughts." My thoughts: If the Giver and the Gift are the same - they BOTH should be uppercase! This is in contrast to the "gifts" of the Spirit or the "fruit" of the Spirit. Blessings on your day! mommapbs |

2 | Can one have the Spirit of God? | 1 Cor 7:40 | Ray | 108563 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, The first chapter of Ephesians is a good passage to study to see how the translators deal with "in whom" or "in Him". Ephesians 1:13 for instance in my Study Bible has "In Him, you also,..." with a marginal note saying [Lit., whom]. A comparison of the NASB and the NKJ for verses 10 and11 is indicative of the same choices to be made in interpretation and translation. However, to capitalize "Who" would be confusing to my mind. I would complete the sentence and start with a capitalized pronoun in the next rather than capitalize Who. 1) Another thing to consider in studying Ephesians 1:14 is the difference in manuscripts for "who is given as a pledge". The NU copy has a letter that is translated "which" while another Interlinear that I have in what I believe is a TR text, has letters which translate as "who". So I believe that it would be safe to say that this discussion that we are having is nothing new. From the heart, Ray |
