I want only to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
And it will happen afterward thus:
I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
and your elders will dream dreams;
your young men shall see visions.
And also on the male slaves and on the female slaves,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name—that one will teach you all things, and will remind you of everything that I said to you.
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father—that one will testify about me.
But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:
concerning sin, because they do not believe in me,
and concerning righteousness, because I am going away to the Father and you will see me no more,
and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.
But when he—the Spirit of truth—comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will proclaim to you the things to come.
He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and will proclaim it to you.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth.”
and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.
in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
but having different gifts according to the grace given to us: if it is prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;
if it is service, by service; if it is one who teaches, by teaching;
if it is one who exhorts, by exhortation; one who gives, with sincerity; one who leads, with diligence; one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
For to us God has revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? Thus also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, in order that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
things which we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.
But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit,
and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord,
and there are varieties of activities, but the same God, who works all things in all people.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial to all.
For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit,
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.
But in all these things one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.
for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law.
