The Great Commission
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit,
"Into the name" translates *εἰς τὸ ὄνομα* — the preposition *eis* (into) indicates entrance into relationship with or allegiance to, not merely association. The three are listed in distinct sequence — Father, Son, holy spirit — preserving their distinction rather than collapsing them into identity. "Holy spirit" is left without capitalisation as the Greek *ἁγίου πνεύματος* carries no article here and refers to the character and power of God rather than a named co-equal person.
