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 / activepassive

ἑκάστῳ & δίδοται

˱to˲_each & /is_being/_given

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses this form to focus on the gifts rather than focusing on the one who gives them. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” did it (See: 12:6). Alternate translation: [to each one God gives]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ φανέρωσις τοῦ Πνεύματος

the manifestation ˱of˲_the Spirit

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind display, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “display” or “manifest.” Alternate translation: [how they display the Spirit] or [how they manifest the power of the Spirit]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ φανέρωσις τοῦ Πνεύματος

the manifestation ˱of˲_the Spirit

Here Paul uses the possessive form to indicate how the Spirit is revealed by the outward display. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind that the outward display is a revelation of the Spiritwith a verbal phrase. Alternate translation: [the ability to outwardly display the Spirit] or [a way to outwardly display the Spirit]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πρὸς τὸ συμφέρον

for the_‹thing› benefitting

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind benefit, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “benefit” or “help.” Alternate translation: [in order to benefit everyone]
