Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom — a theologically dense equation: the risen Christ is identified with the Spirit (ho kyrios to pneuma, though scholars debate whether Paul means 'the Lord is Spirit' or 'the Lord [now operates] as Spirit'). Freedom (eleutheria) is the Spirit's gift: freedom from law's condemnation, freedom for transformed living. This is the Christian's birthright.
