Now we have not received the spirit that belongs to the world but the Spirit that comes from God, that we may get an insight into the blessings God has graciously given us.

to remember the things foretold by the holy prophets, and the command of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles.

But you, dearly beloved, must remember the words that have already been spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

He that knoweth

Whoever does not love has never come to know God by experience, because God is love.

All things have been entrusted to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to make Him known."

Then they began to say to Him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father too."

My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me,

I most solemnly say to you, whoever welcomes any messenger I send welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes Him who has sent me."

Then Pilate said to Him, "So you are a king then?" Jesus answered, "Certainly I am a king. For this very purpose I was born, for this very purpose I have come into the world, to testify for truth. Everybody who is a friend of truth listens to my voice."

Jesus again said to them, "Peace be with you! Just as my Father has sent me forth, so I am now sending you."

If anyone claims to have the prophetic spirit, or any other spiritual gift, let him recognize that what I now am writing is the Lord's command.

You look at me and measure me by outward appearances. If anyone is confident in himself that he belongs to Christ, let him have another thought about himself, that just as he belongs to Christ, so do I.

in a flame of fire, who will take vengeance on those who do not know God, that is, those who will not listen to the good news of our Lord Jesus.

Hereby

Dearly beloved, stop believing every so-called spiritual utterance, but keep testing them to see whether they come from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

The spirit of truth

even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see Him or recognize Him, because He is going to remain with you, and will be within you.

"When the Helper comes whom I will send from the Father to you, the Spirit of truth that comes from the Father, He will testify to me.

General references

Whoever is sprung from God listens to what God says. This is why you do not listen to me: you are not sprung from God."

But they will never come on behind a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
