THE SPIRIT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT

There are two hundred and sixty-four references to the Spirit in the New Testament.  But in many of them there is no allusion to the Holy Spirit.  In many places the expressions “the Spirit,” and “the Holy Spirit,” should be rendered “Spirit” and “holy Spirit,” or frequently “a holy Spirit.”  The passages in this chapter are arranged in two columns:  Column I contains the passages in which the definite article is to be found in the Greek.  These should always be translated “the Holy Spirit.”  Column 2 contains the passages where the definite article is not found and which may be often—­but not always—­translated “a holy Spirit.”  The use of the article is often governed by other parts of speech.  Where the Spirit sustains a universal relation to mankind, the word is italicized.
