# Spirit (Spiritual)
The word “spirit” or "spiritual" is used to talk about anything in the non-physical world. In the Greek and Hebrew languages, the word for “spirit” can also be translated as “breath” or “wind.” This is because these things cannot be touched. God is a spirit (see: John 4:24). However, he created other spirit beings. Spirit beings do not have physical bodies. Angels are spirit beings (see: Hebrews 1:7). The angels who rebelled against God are called demons or evil spirits (see: Luke 7:21).

God is a spirit (see: John 4:24), and he created other spirit beings. Spirit beings do not have physical bodies, but sometimes they take the form of a physical being. Some spirit beings are called angels (see: Hebrews 1:7). Spirit beings who rebelled against God are called demons or evil spirits (see: Luke 7:21).
The word “spirit” is sometimes used to talk about the human spirit (see: Romans 1:9). This is the non-physical part of a person. It cannot be seen. When a person dies, their spirit leaves their body (see: Ecclesiastes 12:7; Matthew 27:50). The word “spirit” is similar to the word “soul.” However, in the Bible the spirit and the soul are separate things (see: 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12).
