So then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?

“Repent,” Peter said to them, “and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

After they went down there, they prayed for them, so the Samaritans might receive the Holy Spirit.

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who heard the message.

“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came down on them, just as on us at the beginning.

And God, who knows the heart, testified to them by giving the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us.

and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”

“No,” they told him, “we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial:

For if a person comes and preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or you receive a different spirit, which you had not received, or a different gospel, which you had not accepted, you put up with it splendidly!

When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.

At the same time, God also testified by signs and wonders, various miracles, and distributions of gifts from the Holy Spirit according to His will.

For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, became companions with the Holy Spirit,

It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you. These things have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Angels desire to look into these things.

By the hearing

For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith,

just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.

But all did not obey the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our message?
