Is the Spirit. What does it mean for the Christian to have this veil removed??? This verse gives the answer!!! Paul is a monotheistic-trinitarian (see note on Romans 16:27) and he does not sharply contrast the functions of the Father, Son, and Spirit. There is freedom. The Law is slavery, The Spirit is freedom! The Christian is not a slave, but a son (includes daughter)!!! Compare Romans 8:14-17 and notes.
