TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Holy Spirit’s Work

Different New Testament writers emphasized different aspects of the Holy Spirit’s work. John, for example, highlighted the Spirit’s role as teacher and revealer of God’s thoughts and ways (John 14:17, 26; 15:26; 16:13-15; 1 Jn 2:20, 27). Luke focused on the Spirit’s guidance and power for evangelism (Acts 1:8; 4:8-12, 31; 8:29-40; 13:9-12). Paul, meanwhile, provides a comprehensive view of the Spirit’s work.

According to Paul, God gives his Holy Spirit to all who come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ (1 Cor 6:19; Gal 3:2-5; Eph 1:13-14). The Spirit brings new life in Christ. He affirms believers’ salvation (1 Cor 6:11; 2 Thes 2:13) and their identity as children of God (Rom 8:9, 14-17).

The Holy Spirit gives Christians power over sin (Rom 8:1-4), power to live a fruitful life (Gal 5:22-23), and power for ministry (1 Cor 12:1-31). Believers are to be continuously “filled with the Holy Spirit” (Eph 5:18), and though they experience the conflict between the flesh and the Spirit, they can please God by yielding to the Spirit’s guidance and power (Gal 5:16-18).

The Holy Spirit enables Christians to understand God’s thoughts and ways (1 Cor 2:9-16). He gives spiritual gifts to believers to help the church grow (12:1-31). The Spirit leads and empowers worship as believers use the gifts that the Spirit has given them (14:26-33, 39-40).

The Spirit guarantees that believers will receive all the blessings that God has promised (2 Cor 1:21-22; 5:1-5; Eph 1:13-14). The Spirit helps believers and prays for them in their human weakness (Rom 8:26-27). And the goal of the Spirit’s work is to make believers like Christ (Rom 8:28-29).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διαιρέσεις διακονιῶν

divisions ˱of˲_service

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind varieties, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “various” or “different.” Alternate translation: [various ministries] or [different ministries]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διακονιῶν

˱of˲_service

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind ministries, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “serve” or “minister.” Alternate translation: [of ways to minister]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὁ αὐτὸς Κύριος

the same Lord

Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul implies that it is the same Lord whom people serve with the varieties of ministries. If your readers would not infer that information, and if your language requires these words to make a complete thought, you could supply them. Alternate translation: [all of them minister for the same Lord] or [everyone serves the same Lord]
