Romans 8.9-10 Christ in you

Christ is in (union with) you

Romans 8.9-10:

NWT - However, you are in harmony, not with the flesh, but with the spirit, if God’s spirit truly dwells in you. But if anyone does not have Christ’s spirit, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in union with you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

Analysis

The same Greek word is used twice in this passage

It means “IN”

When it refers to the Spirit of God in us, it is translated correctly

When it refers to Christ in us, the phrase “union with” has been added

This is because Watchtower theology does not allow for us to be “IN” Jesus or for Jesus to be “IN” us as it would make him fully divine, as we can only truly be in the one who is fully divine

Consider why the Watchtower have adulterated the Word of God in this way.
