Cui datur sapientia, est quasi sol; cui scientia, luna in nocte sæculi; quibus cætera dantur, stellæ sunt: quia hæc in nocte sunt necessaria.

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

ᾧ μὲν & διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος δίδοται

˱to˲_one on_one_hand & through the Spirit /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 emphasize what is given over who gives it. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” or the Spirit did it. Alternate translation: [the Spirit gives to one] or [God gives to one through the Spirit]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ᾧ & ἄλλῳ

˱to˲_one & ˱to˲_another

While Paul specifically refers to one and to another, he is not speaking about just two people. Rather, he is using this form to give two examples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express that Paul is using two examples here with a form in your language that does indicate representative examples, or you could use plural forms here. Alternate translation: [to certain people … to other people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence -1) λόγος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ᾧ μὲν γὰρ διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος δίδοται λόγος σοφίας ἄλλῳ δὲ λόγος γνώσεως κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ Πνεῦμα)

Here, word represents what someone says in words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express word with an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [a message … a message]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

λόγος σοφίας

/a/_word ˱of˲_wisdom

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind wisdom, you can express the idea in another way. Paul could mean that: (1) the word is characterized by wisdom. Alternate translation: [a wise word] (2) the word gives wisdom to those who hear it. Alternate translation: [a word that makes others wise]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἄλλῳ & λόγος

˱to˲_another & /a/_word

Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul omits these words because he stated them explicitly in the previous clause (is given). If your language does need these words, you could supply them from that clause. Alternate translation: [to another is given a word]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

λόγος γνώσεως

/a/_word /a/_word ˱of˲_knowledge

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind knowledge, you can express the idea in another way. Paul could mean that: (1) the word is characterized by knowledge. Alternate translation: [an enlightened word] (2) the word gives knowledge to those who hear it. Alternate translation: [a word that makes others knowledgeable]
