- Beloved,
do not trust every spirit,
but test the spirits
to see whether they are from God.
For many false prophets
have gone out into the world. - Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and barren, and darkness covered the abyss while the Spirit of God hovered over the waters.
- All those who keep his commandments abide in him,
and he abides in them.
And the proof that he abides in us
is the Spirit that he has given us. - The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all.

- The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
- May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may grow rich in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Exalted at God’s right hand, he received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

- Peter answered, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
- Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. - Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is great:
He was made visible in the flesh,
vindicated by the Spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed to the Gentiles,
believed in throughout the world,
taken up in glory. - And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God who has marked you with his seal for the day of redemption.
- Indeed, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
- For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink.
- The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the child to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.”
- However, now that you have been freed from sin and bound to the service of God, the benefit you receive is sanctification, and the end is eternal life.
- The reward of humility and fear of the Lord
is wealth, honor, and life. - May God continue to bless us
and be revered to the ends of the earth.
Indeed, creation itself eagerly awaits the revelation of the children of God.Let no foul word ever pass your lips. Say only what is useful for edification, so that your words may benefit your listeners.
