NASB | Romans 8:13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:13 for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever. |
Subject: filled with holy spirit? |
Bible Note: Note that the Amplified has that in brackets. It isn't in the text. Rather, the promise of Joel was that what was once given out by measure in the OT would now be poured out upon all mankind. I have seen some (actually quite a few in the last few days) commentators and writers suggest that, like the fulfilment of Isaiah's prophecy which Jesus read in the Synagogue, the prophecy of Joel was only a partial fulfilment, a foretaste of the complete perfection. (Is. 61:1-2a, Luke 4:18-19) Christ quoted only the first line of the second verse, because, as many commentators believe, it was not yet time to fulfill the rest of that prophecy. Also note that there was a 400 year abscence of the Spirit between Malachi and John, and that both Christ and John were filled with the Spirit. |
