Spirit. John 3:8. Both in Greek and Hebrew the word for this implies a "blowing" or "breathing;" its primary sense is "wind." In 2 Thessalonians 2:8 it is used for "breath;" in Ecclesiastes 8:8 for the vital principle; while in other places it denotes the soul. Angels, both good and bad, souls without bodies, are thus designated. Matthew 14:26; Luke 24:39. The inclination is similarly expressed; hence we have a spirit of grace and of supplication, Zechariah 12:10, a spirit of infirmity, Luke 13:11. See Holy Spirit.
