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.
