Subject: How is Christ Jesus our Lord? |
Bible Note: Hi Morant 61, You offer still another option that was not in my question. Indeed, that is the literal translation (Spirit of Holiness) that is offered in the Interlinear New Testament put out by Baker books. Literal Translation in the left hand column, Romans 1:4: 4(who was)marked out Son of God in power, according to (the) Spirit of Holiness, by resurrection of (the) dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. But we have a lot of "testing the spirits" here for under the Greek text we have the translation stated thus: 4 marked out Son of God in power, according to (the) Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of (the) dead, Jesus Christ the Lord of us, through whom we received... Also, on the right hand column we have the King James version with yet another reading. Romans 1:4, "And declared (to be) the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead: By whom we have received..." I don't know which version you have used for your answer, but the NKJ offers yet another "Spirit" for us to consider for verse five. Instead of "through whom" it reads "Through Him we have received..." which refers back to the Spirit of holiness in verse four. So here is option #1 based on NKJ: This Son of God was resurrected by the power of the Spirit of holiness (through Him), and His name (by which we are called) is Jesus Christ. Here is option #1 from the NASB: His Son (who was born according to the flesh) was declared to be the Son of God with power as a result of the resurrection of the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord. Here is the reading of the King James option: "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead: By whom we have received..." Summation: So far I see all of these options as equating Jesus Christ our Lord as being the Spirit of holiness or the Holy Spirit. If you don't see this, let me point out that the words "Jesus Christ the Lord of us" in the Greek Interlinear is placed at the end of verse four. The words follow (and remember we have no help in capitalization with the Greek) "ACCORDING TO (THE) SPIRIT OF HOLINESS, BY RESURRECTION OF (THE) DEAD..." The equating of the Holy Spirit with Jesus Christ our Lord is seen most clearly in the rendering of the NASB. Romans 1:4b, "...according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord." I agree with this placement of the words "Jesus Christ out Lord." However, this would I suppose not set well with people who need a physical man on the earth. It would not set well, I suppose, with the person who needs the Persons of the trinity kept divided. I'll leave this now to get the thoughts of the forum before I speak to another option of the NASB. |
