“If this is the case, what does it mean to “turn to the Spirit”? Turning to the Spirit is, in effect, the equivalent of receiving the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the new covenant ministry.[11] But such a turning toward and receiving are only one side of the coin. The other side of that coin involves another turning, the turning away from sin. To be sure, the call to repentance and conversion remain implicit in Paul’s text. But they are the necessary concomitants of turning to the Lord.”

“Jesus. Paul’s fundamental †gospel proclamation is “Jesus Christ [is] Lord” (4:5). Both titles—Christ and Lord—are important. For Paul, Jesus’ lordship is intimately linked with the resurrection (4:14; see Phil 2:11), for it is the resurrection that reveals Jesus as Lord. Paul’s reference to Jesus as Kyrios (“Lord”) is striking when one realizes that the †Septuagint—the Greek translation of the Old Testament—uses Kyrios to translate the sacred name for God, †YHWH (a name so sacred it is not to be pronounced).”
