I don't think it's really all that extraordinary, although one might
conceivably expect an article TOU before hAGIOU to clarify that it's
attributive, but it would in fact be enough to say EK PNEUMATOS ESTIN;
hAGIOU is added, I think, lest there be any concern that some other spirit
is involved (e.g. AKAQARTOU).
