This is the Greek text:
TOU=TON LALEI=S, A)/NQRWPE, TOU/TOU TO\ PNEU=MA A)NAPNEI=S, TOU=TON A)
GNOEI=S.
The meaning is metaphorical and involves a play on the word PNEUMA/
[ANA]PNEI. The word PNEUMA can represent a number of words in it
semantic range in both English and Spanish= breath/soplo, spirit/
espíritu, wind/viento, etc. Both the Spanish and the translation by
Robertson are acceptable translations.
