Noel, you always have such interesting questions!
Ralph Martin translates "'The Lord' represents the Spirit; and wherever the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom". His capitalization of the term
pneuma indicates he views it as The Holy Spirit (the third member of the
Trinity). Though here it focuses more on action than personhood.
For myself- here's how I would translate it: "Now then, the Lord IS the
Spirit. This means that wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there also is
freedom"
