Exegesis
The dative prepositional phrase en pneumati hagiō {ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ | en pneú-ma-ti ha-gí-ō} modifies this triad, indicating the sphere of Spirit-empowered experience rather than external observance, and underscores that the kingdom’s essence lies in Spirit-wrought righteousness, peace, and joy rather than ritual feasting.
Root and etymology
pneōpn-é-ō
