You are children of God, dear children, and you have been victorious over these men, for he who is in our hearts is greater than he who is in the world.

Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called as an apostle, set apart to declare God's good news,

But the Spirit we have received is not that of the world, but the Spirit that comes from God, which we have to make us realize the blessings God has given us.

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

But you, dear friends, must remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

He that knoweth

Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Everything has been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

Then they said 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 assure you, whoever welcomes any messenger of mine welcomes me and whoever welcomes me welcomes him who has sent me."

Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "As you say, I am a king. It was for this that I was born and for this that I came to the world, to give testimony for truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to my voice."

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

If anyone claims to be inspired to preach, or to have any other spiritual endowment, let him understand that what I am now writing you is a command from the Lord.

You look at things externally. If anyone is sure he belongs to Christ, let him think again and understand that I belong to Christ just as much as he.

in a blaze of fire, and takes vengeance on the godless who will not listen to the good news of our Lord Jesus.

Hereby

Dear friends, do not believe every inspired utterance, but test the utterances to see whether they come from God, for many false prophets have come out into the world.

The spirit of truth

It is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot obtain that Spirit, because it does not see it or recognize it; you recognize it because it stays with you and is within you.

When the Helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father??hat Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father??e will bear testimony to me,
