# were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit
Wax was placed on a letter and stamped with a symbol representing the person who wrote the letter. Paul uses this custom as a picture to show how God has used the Holy Spirit to assure us that we belong to him. Alternate translation: "God has sealed you with the Holy Spirit that he promised" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
"God has sealed you with the Holy Spirit that he promised." When people wrote letters, they would seal it closed with soft wax and stamp their mark on the wax. Paul uses this custom to show how God gives us the Holy Spirit to assure us that we belong to him.
