The Function of "Likewise" (Osautos) in Romans 8:26

The Function of "Likewise" (Osautos) in Romans 8:26

  • Technical
  • Geoffrey C. Smith

In Romans 8:26 Paul compares the ministry of the Holy Spirit in helping Christians in their weakness to something he had written earlier. He uses the comparative adverb "hosautos." There is no consensus among interpreters as to the subject of the comparison. This article makes a proposal: Paul is comparing the Spirit’s ministry in verse 26 to the Spirit’s ministry in verse 16.
