- Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.
- Let all that I am praise the Lord;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. - 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.
- But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.
- But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.
- Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
- May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
- If you love me, obey my commandments.
- For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
- Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.
- We love each other because he loved us first.
- No one is holy like the Lord!
There is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. - But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
- Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me. - He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
- So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
- No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.
- Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. - Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.
- Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
- For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
- Gentle words are a tree of life;
a deceitful tongue crushes 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. - No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
