    • 8:16

      The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit: Here the Greek word for “spirit” (pneuʹma) appears twice but with different meanings. (See Glossary, “Spirit.”) “The spirit itself” refers to God’s holy spirit, or active force. The expression “our spirit” refers to the dominant mental attitude of anointed Christians. So God’s holy spirit bears witness, or testifies, together with the dominant attitude of anointed Christians, impelling them to respond in a positive way to what God’s inspired Word says about the heavenly hope.
