Footnotes
The pairing of "water and Spirit" almost certainly evokes Ezekiel 36:25–27, where YHWH promises to sprinkle clean water on Israel and place His Spirit within them — a text a Pharisee like Nicodemus would have known fluently. The F.O.G. uses "Ruach" to preserve the Hebrew resonance of that promise and its breath/wind/spirit range; the F.O.G.M. uses "Spirit" for theological directness.
