NASB | Romans 8:9 ¶ However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:9 ¶ However, you are not [living] in the flesh [controlled by the sinful nature] but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God lives in you [directing and guiding you]. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God]. [Rom 8:14] |
Subject: filled Holy Spirit, or to walk in spirit |
Bible Note: Hi terrib, In thinking about these things through the years, the scribes and the translators have interpretted certain things differently. For instance Romans 8:10, NASB, where it speaks of the spirit [sic] is alive even though the body is dead. (Because of the righteousness of Christ who is in us). And verse 16, the Spirit Himself, NASB, beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God. For we have received a spirit, NASB, of adoption as sons. 1 John 3:24 in the KJV would not read very well if it said, "by the Spirit whom he hath given us." And yet that is the way that the NASB and NKJ also reads. I believe that it makes more sense to keep spirit in the lower case for 1 John 3:24, and the next verses, 1 John 4:1,2, and 3. And verse 6, "By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." From the heart, Ray |
