JW:
In the Greek "spirit" (ghost) comes before "holy" and is separated by the verb "to be". A literal translation is "for that which is conceived in her from spirit is holy". No mention of this in the major Christian translations. Again, Christian translators are creating support for their idea of the holy ghost as a separate person in their translations.
