May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Spirit and soul and body ...  Despite the prevalent opinions to the effect that Paul used these words loosely and that man is not a triple being, this writer cannot resist the thought that these words do indicate that man, like his Creator, is a trinity.  After all, was he not made in the image of God?  Spirit and soul are often confused, but as Ward pointed out, "Through the Holy Spirit man's mind has been quickened, and Paul called such a quickened mind "spirit."[34] This view seems correct, and thus we have man as a creature of mind, soul and body, the mind standing for the intellect, the soul for his spiritual nature, and the body for his physical being.  The three institutions in every society appointed to minister in these three separate categories (the mental hospital, the penitentiary, and the hospital of joint and bone diseases) clearly prove man's triple nature.
