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: First off, the brackets in the Amplified are basically a sort of in-text commentary, though an uncommonly good one. As for your other point, aye. This born of the Spirit is more than the OT examples, but the OT examples are shadows (Col. 2:17, Heb. 8:5, 10:1) of things to come, thus, while they may not be the thing, yet they are a kind of prophecy of that thing. Er.... but in conclusion, hoping that I have not again mangled my meaning with awkward words, yes, John did not have this new birth. However, the words, at least in English (I don't have the LXX with me, so I can't compare) are the same, "filled with the Spirit of God" However, this statement is qualified, by "in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all craftsmanship." (That being Ex 31:3) |
