Human Spirit or Holy Spirit

Excerpt

The last part of this verse (literally but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness”) is also difficult. Paul may be referring to the human spirit (see TEV alternative “your spirit is alive) or to the Holy Spirit. The TEV takes the latter alternative, the Spirit is life for you. Throughout this entire passage (and definitely in verse 11) Paul is using the term Spirit as a reference to God’s Spirit, and so it seems likely that in this verse also he is referring to the Spirit of God. The TEV takes Paul’s term “righteousness” in the same sense in which Paul so frequently uses it: you have been put right with God. More
