to/with the spirit-breath
| Root | πνεῦμα (pneuma) |
| Core Meanings | breath, wind, air-current, spirit, life-force, inner disposition |
| Semantic Range | literal wind or breath; human inner spirit or disposition; life principle; immaterial being such as an angel or demon; the divine Spirit of God; Christ’s spirit |
| Conceptual Significance | πνεῦμα bridges the physical and immaterial realms, linking breath—the sign of life—with personal and divine agency. In biblical theology it expresses the animating life-force of humans, the presence and power of God, and the dynamic activity of the Holy Spirit. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DNS = noun, dative case, neuter gender, singular number. The dative can express indirect object, means, sphere, or association ("to," "with," "by," "in"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun πνεῦμα fundamentally denotes breath or moving air, extended metaphorically to spirit or life-force. The form πνεύματι is dative neuter singular, so the rendering includes the dative sense (“to/with”) while preserving the singular, neuter concept of a single ‘spirit-breath.’ |
