Spirit 靈

Jesus said to Nicodemus: "You can hear and feel the wind (πνεῦμα); but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going to. You may not understand how and why the wind blows; but you can see what it does. You may not understand where a gale came from or where it is going to, but you can see the trail of flattened fields and uprooted trees that it leaves behind it. There are many things about the wind you may not understand; but its effect is plain for all to see." He went on, "the Spirit (πνεῦμα) is exactly the same. You may not know how the Spirit works; but you can see the effect of the Spirit in human lives." – William Barclay
耶穌對尼哥底母說：「你可以聽見、並感覺到風，但你不知道它從何處來，往何處去；你可能不明白風如何吹，為何吹；但你可以見到它所做的。你可能不知道一陣強風從何處來，往何處去，但你可以見到它留下了掃平的田野和拔起的樹木。你可能不明白許多有關風的事，但它的後果是很清楚的，人人可見的。」於是他繼續說：「靈亦正是如此，你可能不知道靈怎樣運作，但你可以見到靈在人生命中產生的效果。」
