o "You have all helped to set his mind (pneuma) completely at rest" Revised English Bible.
5. "And that you be renewed in the spirit (pneuma) of your mind" (Ephesians 4:23). Even in the theology of today, if the spirit is an immortal something, what is “the spirit of you mind” in which they were to be renewed?
o "To be made new in the attitude (pneuma) of your mind" New International Version.
6. Matthew 22:37 "And he said unto him, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul (life-soul-psukee), and with all your mind."

"For though absent in body, I am present in spirit (pneuma)" (Colossians 2:5). Was his immortal spirit in one place, and his body was in another while he was alive? If so, then the immortal spirit can leave the body when it wants to, and the body can live without the spirit, but James tells us that the body without the spirit is dead (James 2:26). Was Paul’s body dead for a time while his spirit was gone to be at Colossae? No, he was saying he was with them in his thoughts and heart, not that an immortal spirit had left his body, and it went to Colossae without his body, and returned to his body.
10. Colossians 3: 23 "Whatsoever you do, work heartily (psukee), as unto the Lord." Whatsoever you do, work soul (pneuma), as unto the Lord?

12. "Restore such a one in a spirit (pneuma) of gentleness" (Galatians 6:1).
13. "May give unto you a spirit (pneuma) of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him" (Ephesians 1:17). Would they not have already had an immortal soul; if another one were given to them would they have two?
14. Ephesians 6:6 "Not in the way of eye service, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart (psukee)." "Doing the will of God from an immortal soul"?
15. "That you stand fast in one spirit (pneuma)" (Philippians 1:27).
16. "A meek and quiet spirit (pneuma)" (1 Peter 3:4).
