    What is the difference between the soul and the spirit of a person? ( 1 Thessalonians 5:23 - Hebrews 5:12 - Ecclesiastes 12:7)

    What makes up the soul and what makes up the spirit?

    1Thessalonians 5:23, "spirit" Strongs Exhaustive Concordance - Greek word "pneuma" current of air, breath, a spirit, rational soul (superhuman) life

    Thayer's Greek Lexicon ._._ 3. a spirit ' a simple essence, ._._._ possessed the power of knowing, desiring, deciding and acting'

    "soul" Greek "psuche" soul, life, self, inner being or life, 2. (literally) breath, 3. The heart's desire, the drive or passion of ones soul,

    Same Greek words used for Hebrews 4:12,

    Hebrews 5:12,

    Ecclesiastes 12:7, "and as it was: and the spirit" translated from one Greek word "ruwach" wind, ._.

    Thayer's = breath, wind, spirit, 1. breath of mouth or nostrils

    You can study deeper in this website, there were multiple scripture references in the Thayer's Greek Lexicon, if you tap on a scripture, it will open new page, scroll down to "Translation Details" by clicking on any of the separated words or phrases it will bring you to the Concordance references.

    Hopefully these are helpful
