In some exegesis I am doing I came across the following phrase: (John 3.34)
hON GAR APESTEILEN hO QEOS TA RHMATA TOU QEOU LALEI, OU GAR EK METROU
DIDWSIN TO PNEUMA.
I wonder if others would take this phrase as being that the ability to speak
the words of God comes from the Spirit which is given.
I know that there is some controversy over who is given the Spirit (Jesus,
John the Baptist, or the believer), but what I am questioning is whether the
empowerment to speak the words comes from the Spirit. Is this the emphasis
of the GAR in the second phrase.
Thanks
Nigel.
