41 Keep watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

3 "Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor;

the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

17 *For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies, and this means that you cannot do what you want to do.

16 What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature.

22 But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 humility, and self-control. There is no law against such things as these.

25 The Spirit has given us life; he must also control our lives.

6 To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace.

19 *Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; 20 he bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God’s glory.

17 But he who joins himself to the Lord becomes spiritually one with him.

11 It is only our own spirit within us that knows all about us; in the same way, only God’s Spirit knows all about God.

15 What should I do, then? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray also with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will sing also with my mind.

16 I ask God from the wealth of his glory to give you power through his Spirit to be strong in your inner selves, 17 and I pray that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith. I pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love,

17 and ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, to give you the Spirit, who will make you wise and reveal God to you, so that you will know him.

15 **For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God’s children, and by the Spirit’s power we cry out to God, "Father! my Father!" 16 God’s Spirit joins himself to our spirits to declare that we are God’s children.

16 God’s Spirit joins himself to our spirits to declare that we are God’s children.

15 **For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God’s children, and by the Spirit’s power we cry out to God, "Father! my Father!"

10 But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you* because you have been put right with God, even though your bodies are going to die because of sin.

14 Those who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s children.

26 In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express.

11 Work hard and do not be lazy. Serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion.

13 May God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace by means of your faith in him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit.

24 God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is."

23 But the time is coming and is already here, when by the power of God’s Spirit people will worship the Father as he really is, offering him the true worship that he wants. 24 God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is."

18 All of us, then, reflect the glory of the Lord with uncovered faces; and that same glory, coming from the Lord, who is the Spirit, transforms us into his likeness in an ever greater degree of glory.

1 All these promises are made to us, my dear friends. So then, let us purify ourselves from everything that makes body or soul unclean, and let us be completely holy by living in awe of God.

7 For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.

7 For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.

19 because I know that by means of your prayers and the help which comes from the Spirit of Jesus Christ I shall be set free.

23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

23 Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you.

2 You may think everything you do is right, but the Lord judges your motives.

18 Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall.

19 It is better to be humble and stay poor than to be one of the arrogant and get a share of their loot.

32 It is better to be patient than powerful. It is better to win control over yourself than over whole cities.

27 The Lord gave us mind and conscience; we cannot hide from ourselves.

6 *The angel told me to give Zerubbabel this message from the Lord: "You will succeed, not by military might or by your own strength, but by my spirit.

1 **The Sovereign Lord has filled me with his Spirit.

He has chosen me and sent me

To bring good news to the poor,

To heal the broken-hearted,

To announce release to captives

And freedom to those in prison.

19 *I will give them a new heart and a new mind. I will take away their stubborn heart of stone and will give them an obedient heart. 20 Then they will keep my laws and faithfully obey all my commands. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

5 Tell them that I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to them: I am going to put breath into you and bring you back to life.

10 Create a pure heart in me, O God,

and put a new and loyal spirit in me.

11 Do not banish me from your presence;

do not take your holy spirit away from me.

12 Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation,

and make me willing to obey you.

17 My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God;

you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.

18 The Lord is near to those who are discouraged;

he saves those who have lost all hope.

3 Don’t put your trust in human leaders;

no human being can save you.

4 When they die, they return to the dust;

on that day all their plans come to an end.

12 The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of the heart.

26 So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead.

1 My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. For many false prophets have gone out everywhere.

13 We are sure that we live in union with God and that he lives in union with us, because he has given us his Spirit.

13 As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

3 Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.

1 In the beginning, when God created the universe,*2 the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God* was moving over the water.

8 But it is the spirit of Almighty God

that comes to us and gives us wisdom.

6 The silver chain will snap, and the golden lamp will fall and break; the rope at the well will break, and the water jar will be shattered. 7 Our bodies will return to the dust of the earth, and the breath of life will go back to God, who gave it to us.

2 Listen to my account of the wonders and miracles which the Supreme God has shown me.

3 "How great are the wonders God shows us!

How powerful are the miracles he performs!

God is king forever; he will rule for all time.
