John 6:63

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.

It is {G2076} the spirit {G4151} that quickeneth {G2227}; the flesh {G4561}{G3756} profiteth {G5623} nothing {G3762}: the words {G4487} that {G3739} I {G1473} speak {G2980} unto you {G5213}, they are {G2076} spirit {G4151}, and {G2532} they are {G2076} life {G2222}.

It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh is no help. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life,

The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.
