Paul:<br>
<br>
Couple of things to keep in mind as you think this through...<br>
<br>
1) The fact that there is no article is basically irrelevant since the
noun follows a preposition, since, as I'm sure you know, Greek tends to
drop the article, even when the noun is absolutely definite, when the
noun is preceded by a preposition. Thus, you have to determine
whether the noun is definite, indefinite, or qualitative from other
factors like context, other uses, etc.<br>
<br>
2) You should look at the phrase EN PNEUMATI in the NT, esp., in Paul and
most especially in Eph. Some of these have AGIW attached, a couple have
human attributes attached, a couple are debated, but the ones in Eph seem
to be pretty consistent. It's my impression that the phrase, as
referring to the Holy Spirit, begins with John and Jesus.<br>
