He breathed

Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

“The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life.”’”

Receive

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another

Helper, that He may be with you forever;

“When the

Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the

Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

Then Peter,

filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “

Rulers and elders of the people,

who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

“Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?”

He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”

This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by

hearing with faith?
