Does the BIBLE DIRECTLY tell us WHO owns our body and spirit ?
YES, but ONLY
IF our BIBLE follows the Byzantine Greek mss.
UNFORTUNATELY, we have more than 61 modern English Bibles which DO NOT TELL US directly “who” owns our Body and Spirit.
Let us hear the WORD of GOD IN 1 Corinthians 6: 19 - 20.
What ? know ye not . . .
that your body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT Which is in you, Which ye have of GOD, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify GOD in your body,
and in your spirit, Which are GOD’S.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
+ + +
In 1 Corinthians 6:20 , hundreds of Byzantine manuscripts speak with one voice, telling us WHO owns both our body and our spirit.
. . . and in your spirit, Which are GOD’S.
But of the 61 English version Bibles listed on Bible Gateway’s website
only 12 included the last seven words.
