The spirit of glory and of God (τὸ τῆς δόξης καὶ τὸ τοῦ Φεοῦ πνεῦμα)

Lit., the spirit of glory and that of God. The repetition of the article identifies the spirit of God with the spirit of glory: the spirit of glory, and therefore the spirit of God: who is none other than the spirit of God himself. Hence Rev., better, the spirit of glory and the spirit of God.

Resteth (ἀναπαύεται)

Compare Isa 11:2; Luk 10:6; Num 11:25, Num 11:26; Mar 6:31; Mat 26:45; Rev 14:13. Also, Mat 11:28, where the word is used in the active voice, to give rest or refreshment.
