Guarantee connected with Spirit and inheritance · dominant
In 2 Corinthians 1:22 and 2 Corinthians 5:5, the accusative singular form occurs in clauses stating that God gives the guarantee of the Spirit. In Ephesians 1:14, the nominative singular form stands in a clause identifying it in relation to an inheritance until redemption; the APB renders the clause "Which is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the acquired possession."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "guarantee" in all three verses, linking it twice with "the Spirit" and once with "our inheritance" and redemption. This repeated English wording confirms the clause-level presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
