PNEUMA is used in 15 twice as PNUEMA DOULEIAS and
PNEUMA hUIOQESIAS.
It is used in verse 16 as TO PNEUMA SUMMARTUREI TWi
PNEUMATI hHMWN.
In verse 15 it's usually translated as something like
"spirit of bondage" and
"spirit of adoption" and in verse 16 as "the spirit
bears witness with our
spirit."
In verse 16 this is usually taken to mean in order,
the "Holy Spirit" and the
"human spirit" (or some take it as "conscience.")
MY QUESTIONS:
First, is it possible to understand "our spirit"="the Holy
Spirit in the possession of humans" or "possessed by humans"
as opposed to understanding "our spirit" as the human spirit?
Secondly, can the PNEUMA hUIQESIAS in verse 15 in anyway be
the "PNEUMA hMWN" of verse 16?
