- So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.
- Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.
- Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.
- A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. - This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God. But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
- For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.
- And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.
- And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
- And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.
- I didn’t know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
- And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.
- Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
- Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
- The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. - “As I began to speak,” Peter continued, “the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as he fell on us at the beginning.”
- For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance.
- Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
- God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. - And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.
- Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!
- Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. Jesus ate nothing all that time and became very hungry.
- Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.”
- When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
- And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.
- We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.
