AB Linguistic analysis distinguishes between the sense of a term in itself and the different things to which, in context, a term refers. On the one hand, any term can refer to different things, and, on the other, any thing can be referred to by different terms. To understand what Paul says about πνενμα in his letters we have to understand both its sense(s) and its reference(s). We can then explore whether Paul also uses other terms in place of πνενμα. Analysis of Paul's language suggests that he uses nveupa as a metaphor, based on the root sense breath, most often standing for an experience of the power of God. Sometimes Paul refers to this experience with other expressions, including λóγoς or χάρı;ς;. Other uses of 7tveupa, such as the nvsupa of a person, or of life, or of adoption, allude to the same experience.
