Spirit and Power

The declaration of Jesus as Son of God "in power" is "according to the Spirit" (Rom. 1:4), and the "spiritual body" is raised "in power" (I Cor. 15:43£.). Romans 8 : 11 and I Corinthians 6: 14, then, express the same thought in relation to Christ's resurrection. The agency the former verse attributes to the Spirit is ascribed to power in the latter.
