AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:24 The one who habitually keeps His commandments [obeying His word and following His precepts, abides and] remains in Him, and He in him. By this we know and have the proof that He [really] abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us [as a gift]. |

Bible Note: Hi Aixen7z4, Good thoughts there. Could you talk about Romans 8:9 that I asked you about? Do you think that verse 9 is talking about the Spirit or our spirit (in contrast to our being in the flesh)? Our mind should be set on the Spirit and thinking of the things of the Spirit. But is verse 9 saying that we can be IN the Spirit? I think that when Christ is in us, the spirit (our spirit) is alive because of righteousness. We crucify the flesh but the spirit is alive [Lit. life]. 1) What is your choice for Romans 8:10? NASB, "And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness." NKJ, "And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness." From the heart, Ray |
