Bible Note: Hi Angel, Thank you for sharing your thoughts of capitalization with me. I wonder how you regard the capitalization in the verse of this thread. My personal interpretation is "that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live according to God in the Spirit". Any comments? 1) When speaking of our spirit, 1 Cor 6:20 comes to mind. NKJ, "For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." I know of no Scripture that talks about God's Holy Spirit, however. 2) Concerning capitalizing "Holy". I know that you are thinking about Holy Spirit rather than holy Spirit, and I agree with you. I am considering, however, Acts 4:27-30. The passage talks about "Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed", NKJ. Would you choose a capitalized Holy for that passage? Or, would you go with the NASB with its "holy servant Jesus". 3) Who and/or what is going to help us make these decisions? From the heart, Ray |
