Thanks, Harold, but I don't find much help there. If we compare the anarthrous CARAS to its complementary anarthrous PNEUMATOS hAGIOU (in Acts 13:52), on what basis do we opt for an indefinite or qualitative joy in the first followed by a definite Holy Spirit in the second? Furthermore, even if hAGIOU does qualify PNEUMATOS, is it enough to identify it as the Holy Spirit? Why couldn't it refer to a holy spirit?
