The KJV, IMHO, is saying the same thing as what you just quoted above. At least, that is how I have always read it. So, in researching and putting them side by side, and being that all translations confirm the same message, it's a moot point.
In examining the main idea ... or big picture the message is the similar... but the argument here is not the overall message but if it's okay or acceptable to use the Word "it" in referring to the Spirit of God ... a weak argument, IMHO, has been put forth that because a poor translation in these instances refers to the Spirit as it ... then somehow it vindicates our modern usage of it in our circles. The writer of the scriptures apparently did not use it .... as connoted in the English language ...

The details ... tell a different story
