4295  πνεῦμα
πνεῦμα, πνεύματος, τό (πνέω), Greek writings from Aeschylus and Herodotus down; Hebrew רוּחַ, Latin spiritus; i. e.:

1. a movement of air (gentle) blast; a. of the wind:  ἀνέμων πνεύματα, Herodotus 7, 16, 1; Pausanias, 5, 25; hence, the wind itself, John 3:8; plural Heb. 1:7 (1 Kings 18:45; 19:11; Job 1:19; Ps. 103:4 (104:4), etc.; often in Greek writings). b. breath of the nostrils or mouth, often in Greek writings from Aeschylus down:  πνεῦμα τοῦ στόματος, 2 Thess. 2:8 (Ps. 32:6 (Ps. 33:6), cf. Isa. 11:4); πνεῦμα ζωῆς, the breath of life, Rev. 11:11 (Gen. 6:17, cf. πνοή ζωῆς, 2:7).  (πνεῦμα and πνοή seem to have been in the main coincident terms; but πνοή became the more poetic.  Both retain a suggestion of their evident etymology.  Even in classical Greek πνεῦμα became as frequent and as wide in its application as ἄνεμος.  (Schmidt, chapter 55, 7; Trench, sec. lxxiii.))

2. the spirit, i. e. the vital principle by which the body is animated ((Aristotle, Polybius, Plutarch, others; see below)):  Luke 8:55; 23:46; John 19:30; Acts 7:59; Rev. 13:15 (here R. V. breath); ἀφιέναι τό πνεῦμα, to breathe out the spirit, to expire, Matt. 27:50 cf. Sir. 38:23; Sap. 16:14 (Greek writings said ἀφιέναι τήν ψυχήν, as Gen. 35:18, see ἀφίημι, 1 b. and Kypke, Observations, i, p. 140; but we also find ἀφιέναι πνεῦμα θανσίμω σφαγή, Euripides, Hec. 571); σῶμα χωρίς πνεύματος νεκρόν ἐστιν, James 2:26; τό πνεῦμα ἐστι τό ζοωποιουν, ἡ σάρξ οὐκ ὠφελεῖ οὐδέν, the spirit is that which animates and gives life, the body is of no profit (for the spirit imparts life to it, not the body in turn to the spirit; cf. Chr.  Frid.  Fritzsche, Nova opuscc., p. 239), John 6:63 .  the rational spirit, the power by which a human being feels, thinks, wills, decides; the soul:  τό πνεῦμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τό ἐν αὐτῷ, 1 Cor. 2:11; opposed to σάρξ (which see (especially 2 a.)), Matt. 26:41; Mark 14:38; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 7:1; Col. 2:5; opposed to τό σῶμα, Rom. 8:10; 1 Cor. 6:17,20 Rec.; 7:34; 1 Pet. 4:6.  Although for the most part the words πνεῦμα and ψυχή are used indiscriminately and so σῶμα and ψυχή put in contrast (but never by Paul; see ψυχή, especially 2), there is also recognized a threefold distinction, τό πνεῦμα καί ἡ ψυχή καί τό σῶμα, 1 Thess. 5:23 , according to which τό πνεῦμα is the rational part of man, the power of perceiving and grasping divine and eternal things, and upon which the Spirit of God exerts its influence; (πνεῦμα, says Luther, "is the highest and noblest part of man, which qualifies him to lay bold of incomprehensible, invisible, eternal things; in short, it is the house where Faith and God's word are at home" (see references at end)):  ἄχρι μερισμοῦ ψυχῆς καί πνεύματος (see μερισμός, 2), Heb. 4:12; ἐν ἑνί πνεύματι, μία ψυχή, Phil. 1:27 (where instead of μία ψυχή Paul according to his mode of speaking elsewhere would have said more appropriately μία καρδία).  τό πνεῦμα τίνος, Mark 2:8; 8:12; Lukei. 47; Acts 17:16; Rom. 1:9; 8:16; 1 Cor. 5:4; 16:18; 2 Cor. 2:13; 7:13; Gal. 6:18; (Phil. 4:23 L T Tr WH); Philemon 1:25; 2 Tim. 4:22; ὁ Θεός τῶν πνευμάτων (for which Rec. has ἁγίων) τῶν προφητῶν, who incites and directs the souls of the prophets, Rev. 22:6, where cf. Düsterdieck. the dative τῷ πνεύματι is used to denote the seat (locality) where one does or suffers something, like our in spirit: ἐπιγινώσκειν, Mark 2:8; ἀναστενάζειν, Mark 8:12; ἐμβρίμασθαι, John 11:33; ταράσσεσθαι, John 13:21; ζηιν, Acts 18:25; Rom. 12:11; ἀγαλλίασθαι, Luke 10:21 (but L T Tr WH here add ἁγίῳ); the dative of respect:  1 Cor. 5:3; Col. 2:5; 1 Pet. 4:6; κραταιουσθαι, Luke 1:80; 2:40 Rec.; ἅγιον εἶναι, 1 Cor. 7:34; ζοωποιηθεις, 1 Pet. 3:18; ζῆν, 1 Pet. 4:6; πτωχοί, Matt. 5:3; dative of instrument: δεδεμένος, Acts 20:22; συνέχεσθαι, 18:5 Rec.; Θεῷ λατρεύειν, Phil. 3:3 R G; dative of advantage:  ἄνεσιν τῷ πνεύματι μου, 2 Cor. 2:13 (12); ἐν τῷ πνεύματι, is used of the instrument, 1 Cor. 6:20 Rec.  (it is surely better to take ἐν τῷ πνεύματι here locally, of the `sphere' (Winer's Grammar, 386 (362), cf. 1 Cor. 6:19)); also ἐν πνεύματι, nearly equivalent to πνευματικῶς (but see Winer's Grammar, sec. 51, 1 e. note), John 4:23; of the seat of an action, ἐν τῷ πνεύματι μου, Rom. 1:9; τιθέναι ἐν τῷ πνεύματι, to propose to oneself, purpose in spirit, followed by the infinitive (πορεύεσθαι, Acts 19:21.  πνεύματα προφητῶν, according to the context the souls (spirits) of the prophets moved by the Spirit of God, 1 Cor. 14:32; in a peculiar sense πνεῦμα is used of a soul thoroughly roused by the Holy Spirit and wholly intent on divine things, yet destitute of distinct self-consciousness and clear understanding; thus in the phrases τό πνεῦμα μου προσεύχεται, opposed to ὁ νοῦς μου, 1 Cor. 14:14; πνεύματι λαλεῖν μυστήρια, 1 Cor. 14:2; προσεύχεσθαι, ψάλλειν, εὐλογεῖν, τῷ πνεύματι, as opposed to τῷ νοΐ, 1 Cor. 14:15,16.

3. "a spirit, i. e. a simple essence, devoid of all or at least all grosser matter, and possessed of the power of knowing, desiring, deciding, and acting"; a. generically:  Luke 24:37; Acts 23:8 (on which see μήτε, at the end); Acts 23:9; πνεῦμα σάρκα καί ὀστέα οὐκ ἔχει, Luke 24:39; πνεῦμα ζοωποιουν (a life-giving spirit), spoken of Christ as raised from the dead, 1 Cor. 15:45; πνεῦμα ὁ Θεός (God is spirit essentially), John 4:24; πατήρ τῶν πνευμάτων, of God, Heb. 12:9, where the term comprises both the spirits of men and of angels. b. a human soul that has left the body ((Babrius 122, 8)): plural (Latin manes), Heb. 12:23; 1 Pet. 3:19. c. a spirit higher than man but lower than God, i. e. an angel:  plural Heb. 1:14; used of demons, or evil spirits, who were conceived of as inhabiting the bodies of men: (Mark 9:20); Luke 9:39; Acts 16:18; plural, Matt. 8:16; 12:45; Luke 10:20; 11:26; πνεῦμα Πύθωνος or πύθωνα, Acts 16:16; πνεύματα δαιμονίων, Rev. 16:14; πνεῦμα δαιμονίου ἀκαθάρτου, Luke 4:33 (see δαιμόνιον, 2); πνεῦμα ἀσθενείας, causing infirmity, Luke 13:11; πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον, Matt. 10:1; 12:43; Mark 1:23,26,27; 3:11,30; 5:2,8,13; 6:7; 7:25; 9:25; Luke 4:36; 6:18; 8:29; 9:42; 11:24,26; Acts 5:16; 8:7; Rev. 16:13; 18:2; ἄλαλον, κωφόν (for the Jews held that the same evils with which the men were afflicted affected the demons also that bad taken possession of them (cf. Wetstein, N. T. i. 279ff; Edersheim, Jesus the Messiah, Appendix xvi.; see δαιμονίζομαι etc. and references)), Mark 9:17,25; πονηρόν, Luke 7:21; 8:2; Acts 19:12,13,15,16, ((cf. Judg. 9:23; 1 Sam. 16:14; 19:9, etc.)). d. "the spiritual nature of Christ, higher than the highest angels, close to God and most intimately united to him" (in doctrinal phraseology the divine nature of Christ):  1 Tim. 3:16; with the addition of ἁγιωσύνης (on which see ἁγιωσύνη, 1 (yet cf. 4 a. below)), Rom. 1:4 (but see Meyer at the passage, Ellicott on 1 Timothy, the passage cited); it is called πνεῦμα αἰώνιον, in tacit contrast with the perishable ψυχαί of sacrificial animals, in Heb. 9:14, where cf. Delitzsch (and especially Kurtz).

4. The Scriptures also ascribe a πνεῦμα to God, i. e. God's power and agency -- distinguishable in thought (or modalistice, as they say in technical speech) from God's essence in itself considered -- "manifest in the course of affairs, and by its influence upon souls productive in the theocratic body (the church) of all the higher spiritual gifts and blessings"; (cf. the resemblances and differences in Philo's use of τό θεῖον πνεῦμα, e. g. de gigant. sec. 12 (cf. sec. 5f); quis rer. div. sec. 53; de mund. opif. sec. 46, etc.). a. This πνεῦμα is called in the O. T. רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים, רוּחַ יְהוָה; in the N. T. πνεῦμα ἅγιον, τό ἅγιον πνεῦμα, τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον (first so in Sap. 1:5; 9:17; for רוּחַ קֹדֶשׁ, in Ps. 50:13 (Ps. 51:13), Isa. 63:10,11, the Septuagint renders by πνεῦμα ἁγιωσύνης), i. e. the Holy Spirit (august, full of majesty, adorable, utterly opposed to all impurity):  Matt. 1:18,20; 3:11; 12:32; 28:19; Mark 1:8; 3:29; 12:36; 13:11; Lukei. 15,35; 2:25,26; 3:16,22; 4:1; 11:13; 12:10,12; John 1:33; 7:39 (L T WH omit; Tr brackets ἅγιον); John 14:26; 20:22; Acts 1:2,5,8,16; 2:33,38; 4:25 L T Tr WH; 5:3,32; 8:18 (L T WH omit; Tr brackets τό ἅγιον),19; 9:31; 10:38,44,45,47; 11:15,16,24; 13:2,4,9,52; 15:8,28; 16:6; 19:6; 20:28; Rom. 9:1; 14:17; 15:13,16,19 (L Tr WH in brackets); 1 Cor. 6:19; 12:3; 2 Cor. 6:6; 13:13 (14); Eph. 1:13; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; 2 Tim. 1:14; Titus 3:5; Heb. 2:4; 6:4; 9:8; 1 John 5:7 Rec.; Jude 1:20; other examples will be given below in the phrases; (on the use and the omission of the article, see Fritzsche, Ep. ad Romans, ii., p. 105 (in opposition to Harless (on Eph. 2:22), et al.; cf. also Meyer on Gal. 5:16; Ellicott on Gal. 5:5; Winer's Grammar, 122 (116); Buttmann, 89 (78))); τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, Eph. 4:30; 1 Thess. 4:8; πνεῦμα Θεοῦ, Rom. 8:9,14; τό τοῦ Θεοῦ πνεῦμα, 1 Pet. 4:14; (τό) πνεῦμα (τοῦ) Θεοῦ, Matt. 3:16; 12:18,28; 1 Cor. 2:14; 3:16; Eph. 3:16; 1 John 4:2; τό πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, 1 Cor. 6:11; τό πνεῦμα τοῦ πατρός, Matt. 10:20; πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ζῶντος, 2 Cor. 3:3; τό πνεῦμα τοῦ ἐγείραντος Ἰησοῦν, Rom. 8:11; τό πνεῦμα τό ἐκ Θεοῦ (emanating from God and imparted unto men), 1 Cor. 2:12; πνεῦμα and τό πνεῦμα τοῦ κυρίου, i. e. of God, Luke 4:18; Acts 5:9 (cf. Acts 5:4); 8:39; κυρίου, i. e. of Christ, 2 Cor. 3:17,18 (cf. Buttmann, 343 (295)); τό πνεῦμα Ἰησοῦ, since the same Spirit in a peculiar manner dwelt in Jesus, Acts 16:7 (where Rec. omits Ἰησοῦ); Χριστοῦ, Rom. 8:9; Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, Phil. 1:19; τό ἐν τίνι (in one's soul (not WH marginal reading)) πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ, 1 Pet. 1:11; τό πνεῦμα τοῦ υἱοῦ (τοῦ Θεοῦ), Gal. 4:6; simply τό πνεῦμα or πνεῦμα:  Matt. 4:1; 12:31,32; 22:43; Mark 1:10,12; Luke 2:1,14; John 1:32,33; 3:6,8,34; 7:39; Acts 2:4; 8:29; 10:19; 11:12,28; 21:4; Rom. 8:6,16,23,26,27; 15:30; 1 Cor. 2:4,10,13 (where Rec. adds ἁγίου); 12:4,7,8; 2 Cor. 1:22; 3:6,8; 5:5; Gal. 3:3,5,14; 4:29; 5:5,17,22,25; Eph. 4:3; 5:9 Rec.; 6:17; Phil. 2:1; 2 Thess. 2:13; 1 Tim. 4:1; James 4:5; 1 Pet. 1:22 Rec.; i John 3:24; 5:6,8; Rev. 22:17.  Among the beneficent and very varied operations and effects ascribed to this Spirit in the N. T., the following are prominent:  by it the man Jesus was begotten in the womb of the virgin Mary (Matt. 1:18,20; Luke 1:35), and at his baptism by John it is said to have descended upon Jesus (Matt. 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22), so that he was perpetually (μένον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν) filled with it (John 1:32,33, cf. 3:34; Matt. 12:28; Acts 10:38); hence, to its prompting and aid the acts and words of Christ are traced, Matt. 4:1; 12:28; Mark 1:12; Luke 4:1,14.  After Christ's resurrection it was imparted also to the apostles, John 20:22; Acts 2. Subsequently other followers of Christ are related to have received it through faith (Gal. 3:2), or by the instrumentality of baptism (Acts 2:38; 1 Cor. 12:13) and the laying on of hands (Acts 19:5,6), although its reception was in no wise connected with baptism by any magical bond, Acts 8:12,15; 10:44ff.  To its agency are referred all the blessings of the Christian religion, such as regeneration wrought in baptism (John 3:5,6,8; Titus 3:5 (but see the commentators on the passages, and references under the word βάπτισμα, 3)); all sanctification (1 Cor. 6:11; hence, ἁγιασμός πνεύματος, 2 Thess. 2:13; 1 Pet. 1:2); the power of suppressing evil desires and practising holiness (Rom. 8:2ff; Gal. 5:16ff,22; 1 Pet. 1:22 (Rec.), etc.); fortitude to undergo with patience all persecutions, losses, trials, for Christ's sake (Matt. 10:20; Luke 12:11,12; Rom. 8:26); the knowledge of evangelical truth (John 14:17,26; 15:26; 16:12,13; 1 Cor. 2:6-16; Eph. 3:5) -- hence, it is called πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας (John the passages cited; 1 John 4:6), πνεῦμα σοφίας καί ἀποκαλύψεως (Eph. 1:17); the sure and joyful hope of a future resurrection, and of eternal blessedness (Rom. 5:5; 8:11; 2 Cor. 1:22; 5:5; Eph. 1:13f); for the Holy Spirit is the seal and pledge of citizenship in the kingdom of God, 2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 1:13.  He is present to teach, guide, prompt, restrain, those Christians whose agency God employs in carrying out his counsels:  Acts 8:29,39; 10:19; 11:12; 13:2,4; 15:28; 16:6,7; 20:28.  He is the author of charisms or special gifts (1 Cor. 12:7ff; see χάρισμα), prominent among which is the power of prophesying:  τά ἐρχόμενα ἀναγγελεῖ, John 16:13; hence, τό πνεῦμα τῆς προφητείας (Rev. 19:10); and his efficiency in the prophets is called τό πνεῦμα simply (1 Thess. 5:19), and their utterances are introduced with these formulas:  τάδε λέγει τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον, Acts 21:11; τό πνεῦμα λέγει, 1 Tim. 4:1; Rev. 14:13; with ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις added, Rev. 2:7,11,17,29; 3:6,13,22.  Since the Holy Spirit by his inspiration was the author also of the O. T. Scriptures (2 Pet. 1:21; 2 Tim. 3:16), his utterances are cited in the following terms:  λέγει or μαρτυρεῖ τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον, Heb. 3:7; 10:15; τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον ἐλάλησε διά Ἠσαΐου, Acts 28:25, cf. Acts 1:16.  From among the great number of other phrases referring to the Holy Spirit the following seem to be noteworthy here:  God is said διδόναι τίνι τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον, Luke 11:13; Acts 15:8; passive, Rom. 5:5; more precisely, ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ, i. e. a portion from his Spirit's fullness (Buttmann, sec. 132, 7; Winer's Grammar, 366 (343)), 1 John 4:13; or εκχειν ἀπό τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ, Acts 2:17,18 (for its entire fullness Christ alone receives, John 3:34); men are said, λαμβάνειν πνεῦμα ἅγιον, John 20:22; Acts 8:15,17,19; 19:2; or τό πνεῦμα ἅγιον, Acts 10:47; or τό πνεῦμα τό ἐκ Θεοῦ, 1 Cor. 2:12; or τό πνεῦμα, Gal. 3:2, cf.

Buttmann, sec. 133, 22 b.; Winer's Grammar, 219 (205))) περιπατεῖν (opposed to ἐπιθυμίαν σαρκός τέλειν), Gal. 5:16.  The Holy Spirit is a δύναμις, and is expressly so called in Luke 24:49, and δύναμις ὑπιστου, Luke 1:35; but we find also πνεῦμα (or πνεῦμα ἅγιον) καί δύναμις, Acts 10:38; 1 Cor. 2:4; and ἡ δύναμις τοῦ πνεύματος, Luke 4:14, where πνεῦμα is regarded as the essence, and δύναμις its efficacy; but in 1 Thess. 1:5 ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ is epexegetical of ἐν δυνάμει.  In some passages the Holy Spirit is rhetorically represented as a Person ((cf. references below)):  Matt. 28:19; John 14:16f,26; 15:26; 16:13-15 (in which passages from John the personification was suggested by the fact that the Holy Spirit was about to assume with the apostles the place of a person, namely of Christ); τό πνεῦμα, καθώς βούλεται, 1 Cor. 12:11; what anyone through the help of the Holy Spirit has come to understand or decide upon is said to have been spoken to him by the Holy Spirit:  εἶπε τό πνεῦμα τίνι, Acts 8:29; 10:19; 11:12; 13:4; τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον διαμαρτύρεταί μοι, Acts 20:23.  τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον ἔθετο ἐπισκόπους, i. e. not only rendered them fit to discharge the office of bishop, but also exercised such an influence in their election (Acts 14:23) that none except fit persons were chosen to the office, Acts 20:28; τό πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις in Rom. 8:26 means, as the whole context shows, nothing other than this:  `although we have no very definite conception of what we desire (τί προσευξώμεθα), and cannot state it in fit language (καθό δεῖ) in our prayer but only disclose it by inarticulate groanings, yet God receives these groanings as acceptable prayers inasmuch as they come from a soul full of the Holy Spirit.'  Those who strive against the sanctifying impulses of the Holy Spirit are said ἀντιπίπτειν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἁγίῳ, Acts 7:51; ἐνυβρίζειν τό πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος, Heb. 10:29.  πειράζειν τό πνεῦμα τοῦ κυρίου is applied to those who by falsehood would discover whether men full of the Holy Spirit can be deceived, Acts 5:9; by anthropopathism those who disregard decency in their speech are said λύπειν τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον, since by that they are taught how they ought to talk, Eph. 4:30 (παροξύνειν τό πνεῦμα, Isa. 63:10; παραπικραίνειν, Ps. 105:33 (Ps. 106:33)).  Cf. Grimm, Institutio theologiae dogmaticae, sec. 131; (Weiss, Biblical Theol. sec. 155 (and Index under the phrase, `Geist Gottes,' `Spirit of God') Kahnis, Lehre vom Heil.  Geiste; Fritzsche, Nova opuscc. acad., p. 278ff; B. D. under the word Spirit the Holy; Swete in Dict. of Christ.  Biog. under the phrase, Holy Ghost). b. τά ἑπτά πνεύματα τοῦ Θεοῦ, Rev.  (3:1 (where Rec.^st omit ἁπτα)); Rev. 4:5; 5:6 (here L omits; WH brackets ἑπτά), which are said to be ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου τοῦ Θεοῦ (Rev. 1:4) are not seven angels, but one and the same divine Spirit manifesting itself in seven energies or operations (which are rhetorically personified, Zech. 3:9; 4:6,10); cf. Düsterdieck on Rev. 1:4; (Trench, Epistles to the Seven Churches, edition 3, p. 7f). c. by metonymy, πενυμα is used of α. "one in whom a spirit (πνεῦμα) is manifest or embodied; hence, equivalent to actuated by a spirit, whether divine or demoniacal; one who either is truly moved by God's Spirit or falsely boasts that he is":  2 Thess. 2:2; 1 John 4:2,3; hence, διακρίσεις πνευμάτων, 1 Cor. 12:10; μή παντί πνεύματι πιστεύετε, 1 John 4:1; δοκιμάζετε τά πνεύματα, εἰ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν, ibid.; πνεύματα πλανᾷ joined with διδασκαλιαι δαιμονίων, 1 Tim. 4:1.  But in the truest and highest sense it is said κύριος τό πνεῦμα ἐστιν, he in whom the entire fullness of the Spirit dwells, and from whom that fullness is diffused through the body of Christian believers, 2 Cor. 3:17. β. the plural πνεύματα denotes the various modes and gifts by which the Holy Spirit shows itself operative in those in whom it dwells (such as τό πνεῦμα τῆς προφητείας, τῆς σοφίας, etc.), 1 Cor. 14:12.

5. universally, "the disposition or influence which fills and governs the soul of anyone; the efficient source of any power, affection, emotion, desire," etc.:  τῷ αὐτῷ πνεύματι περιεπατήσαμεν, 2 Cor. 12:18; ἐν πνεύματι ἡλίου, in the same spirit with which Elijah was filled of old, Luke 1:17; τά ῥήματα ...  πνεῦμα ἐστιν, exhale a spirit (and fill believers with it), John 6:63; οἵου πνεύματος ἐστε ὑμεῖς (what manner of spirit ye are of) viz. a divine spirit, that I have imparted unto you, Luke 9:55 (Rec.; (cf. B. sec. 132, 11 I.; Winer's Grammar, sec. 30, 5)); τῷ πνεύματι, ᾧ ἐλάλει, Acts 6:10, where see Meyer; πραυ καί ἡσύχιον πνεῦμα, 1 Pet. 3:4; πνεῦμα πρᾳότητος, such as belongs to the meek, 1 Cor. 4:21; Gal. 6:1; τό πνεῦμα τῆς προφητείας, such as characterizes prophecy and by which the prophets are governed, Rev. 19:10; τῆς ἀληθείας, σοφίας καί ἀποκαλύψεως, see above, p. 521b middle (Isa. 11:2; Deut. 34:9; Sap. 7:7); τῆς πίστεως, 2 Cor. 4:13; τῆς υἱοθεσίας, such as belongs to sons, Rom. 8:15; τῆς ζωῆς ἐν Χριστῷ, of the life which one gets in fellowship with Christ, ibid. 2; δυνάμεως καί ἀγάπης καί σωφρονισμοῦ, 2 Tim. 1:7; ἕν πνεῦμα εἶναι with Christ, equivalent to to be filled with the same spirit as Christ and by the bond of that spirit to be intimately united to Christ, 1 Cor. 6:17; ἐν ἑνί πνεύματι, by the reception of one Spirit's efficency, 1 Cor. 12:13; εἰς ἕν πνεῦμα, so as to be united into one body filled with one Spirit, ibid.  R G; ἕν πνεῦμα ποτίζεσθαι (made to drink of i. e.) imbued with one Spirit, ibid.  L T Tr WH (see ποτίζω); ἕν σῶμα καί ἐν πνεῦμα, one (social) body filled and animated by one spirit, Eph. 4:4; -- in all these passages although the language is general, yet it is clear from the context that the writer means a spirit begotten of the Holy Spirit or even identical with that Spirit ((cf. Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 46, 6; ; Hermas, sim. 9,13,18; Ignatius ad Magn. 7)).  In opposition to the divine Spirit stand, τό πνεῦμα τό ἐνεργουν ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς ἀπειθείας (a spirit) that comes from the devil), Eph. 2:2; also τό πνεῦμα τοῦ κόσμου, the spirit that actuates the unholy multitude, 1 Cor. 2:12; δουλείας, such as characterizes and governs slaves, Rom. 8:15; κατανύξεως, Rom. 11:8; δειλίας, 2 Tim. 1:7; τῆς πλάνης, 1 John 4:6 (πλανήσεως, Isa. 19:14; πορνείας, Hos. 4:12; 5:4); τό τοῦ ἀντιχρίστου namely, πνεῦμα, 1 John 4:3; ἕτερον πνεῦμα λαμβάνειν, i. e. different from the Holy Spirit, 2 Cor. 11:4; τό πνεῦμα τοῦ νως, the governing spirit of the mind, Eph. 4:23.  Cf.
