Romans 7

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  CRITICAL: identical word to 'saints' below — Greek does not have separate words the way English distinguishes the adjective 'holy' from the noun-category 'saint.' See Saints for the full risk discussion.

  ROM.7.12

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  Standard and unambiguous personal third Person of the Trinity.

  ROM.7.12

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy; 'αγιασμός' is also the specific name of the Epiphany water-blessing rite, a ritual association that should not narrow Romans' broader sense of moral transformation.

  ROM.7.12

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  Same root as 'holy/saints' (ἅγιος).

  ROM.7.12

• Doctrine

  Thanksgiving

  Same word root as the Eucharist itself; ensure Romans' general sense of gratitude is not narrowed to the specific sacramental reference, an ambiguity essentially unique to Greek.

  ROM.7.25

• Glossary Term

  Thanksgiving

  Same word root as the Eucharist itself (Θεία Ευχαριστία, the sacrament of Holy Communion).
