KJV Word TypeNoun (proper)
DefinitionThe third Person of the Holy Trinity — co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Son. The KJV uses "Holy Ghost" in most NT passages (from the Old English gast, meaning spirit or breath). He convicts of sin, regenerates the lost, indwells believers, sanctifies, gifts, intercedes, and seals them unto the day of redemption.
Key Verses"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things." (John 14:26); "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." (Ephesians 4:30)
