[1] Ho pneuma does not appear in the Nestlé-Aland 26. (See www.studylight.org interlinears for more information.)  

[2] An NASB footnote for this verse reads “or spirit.” The majority of commentators agree that the Holy Spirit is not being identified here. David Guzik, however, identifies the Holy Spirit in Acts 19:21 and Matthew Henry discusses both a “spirit” and “Holy Spirit” application in his complete commentary.
