The phrase, "inspiration of God" (as found in 2 Timothy 3:16) literally means, "God-breathed." It is translated from the compound Greek word theopneustos (Theos = "God" + pneo = "to breathe"). Paul uses it to distinguish scripture as distinct from non-inspired writings. Inspired writings were "breathed out" by God.

The role of the Holy Spirit is seen in connection with scriptural inspiration, as "spirit" is translated from the Greek word "pneuma," or "breath."
