Naznaczeni pieczęcią, Duchem Świętym (Ef 1,13; 4,30) - zarys pneumatologii Listu św. Pawła do Efezjan
Stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit (Ep 1:13; 4:30) - outline of the pneumatology of Saint Paul’s letter to the Ephesians

Summary/Abstract: Of all the works of St. Paul, it is the Letter to the Ephesians which focuses more than any other on the universal Church. Ecclesiology occupies a superior place in it, but it also teaches us about pneumatology. In this article the author makes an attempt to present these teachings about pneumatology by analyzing passages which contain a Greek word pneuma (πνεῦμα), as a term which describes the Holy Spirit. The first part of the article presents the above mentioned term pneuma in different contexts of grammatical use. The second part of this short study presents the Holy Spirit as a person who lives, unites and builds the Church. In the third part the author analyses how the Holy Spirit works in a human being. Thus the Third person of God fi lls man with Himself and lives in him. A man is “stamped with the seal of Holy Spirit” (Ep 1:13; 4:30) and is invited to pray in the Spirit and take “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ep 6:17–18).
