And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.

And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.

For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one.

And the teaching I gave you, my brothers, was such as I was able to give, not to those who have the Spirit, but to those who are still in the flesh, even to children in Christ.

Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you?

What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?

For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;

In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

That this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus.

And such were some of you; but you have been washed, you have been made holy, you have been given righteousness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

But he who is united to the Lord is one spirit.

Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the Holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves;

And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.

If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?

If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.

So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.

But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.

For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:

To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;

But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit.

But let your desires be turned to the more important things given by the Spirit. And now I am pointing out to you an even better way.

Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power.

For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.

For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.

What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?

If any man seems to himself to be a prophet or to have the Spirit, let him take note of the things which I am writing to you, as being the word of the Lord.

It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.

For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.
