Dear all,

I have a query concerning John 3:8,

TO PNEUMA hOPOU QELEI PNEI, KAI THN FWNHN AUTOU AKOUEIS, ALL' OUK OIDAS
POQEN ERCETAI KAI POU hUPAGEI hOUTWS ESTIN PAS hO GEGENNHMENOS EK TOU
PNEUMATOS.

Most tranlations put, 'The wind blows where it wishes etc.' whereas Jay
Green in his MKJV has, 'The Spirit breathes where He desires etc.'
Apparently John Wycliff translated it the same as Green.

It makes it harder when PNEUMA and PNEI both have double meanings.

What do you think?

Yours in Christ,

David Fox, England
