Πνεύματι
pneûma
Spirit
Primary meaning: wind, air, or breath in motion.

SIBI-P1 Translation G4151-05
to the breath-force
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNS): indicating indirect object, means, sphere, or reference; singular instance of πνεῦμα. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular form indicates "to/for/by the" and is preserved here as "to the." "Breath-force" reflects the root sense of moving air (πνευ-) extended to the animating or unseen force, without narrowing it to a specific contextual meaning. |
