Sure. By the way, the issue recurs in several Pauline passages, notably Gal. 2:15-16, Eph. 3:12, Php. 3:9, etc.
I’ve found the best way to interpret Scripture is to allow God the Holy Spirit to perform the work.
Our walk is a spiritual walk through faith in Christ.
When we think through the proper meaning of every word in His Word, God the Holy Spirit very really sanctifies our soul through our human spirit.
Where most theological students err, is when they attempt to soulishly study Scripture by academics, instead of by education where God the Holy Spirit performs His ministry.
BTW, this doesn’t mean I don’t prefer the more rigorous word studies and understand the language better. The better we understand these things, the more likely we will hit upon the same thinking and meaning as originally communicated in Scripture. To that end, your recommendations are valued. I’ve begun a rigorous study from them,..thanks again.
