Bible Question:
We always hear the words " mind, body and spirit". Is there any biblical basis for this? or is it just body and spirit? Ngop |
Bible Answer: Hi Ngop I am not sure of what your question is but the three words are not contained together in any one verse of the King James Version. Spirit and Mind appear together once in the OT and six times in the NT, sometimes referring to our spirit and sometimes to the Holy Spirit. Body and Spirit occur together once in the OT as well as ten times in the NT Mind is mentioned in 92 verses. Body is mentioned in 151 verses. Spirit is mentioned 505 times in 456 verses. Yet, Spirit, soul and body do occur together in the following verse: --- And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1Thes 5:23) also, Heart Soul and Mind appear together three times, one of them is the reference verse at the top. please ask if any further explanation is desired. God Bless, Tim |
