摘要：This article discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in building up the church and his functioning in biblical theology. Paul's epistles are composed of two cognitive dimensions. The first half of each epistle is theoretical and theological whereas the second half discusses pragmatic and ethical issues. This character appears in Romans, Galatians and other prison epistles. In the case of Ephesians, chapters one to three are theological discourse and four to six discusses ethical issues.2The logic behind this arrangement is that, theory is the foundation of praxis. Christians' spiritual and ethical life should be built upon theology. If there are problems in theology, there will be problems in spiritual life. This article is to investigate the work of the Holy Spirit in the church by analyzing the lexical and grammatical meanings of some biblical terms in Greek. It is aimed to elaborate not only the external manifest power of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church (doing), but also the internal transformation deep inside our life (being).
