Yet to us God revealed it through his Spirit; for the Spirit fathoms all things, even the inmost depths of God's being.

For what man is there who knows what a man is, except the man's own spirit within him? So, also, no one comprehends what God is, except the Spirit of God.

And as for us, it is not the Spirit of the World that we have received, but the Spirit that comes from God, that we may realize the blessings given to us by him.

And we speak of these gifts, not in language taught by human philosophy, but in language taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things in spiritual words.

The merely intellectual man rejects the teaching of the Spirit of God; for to him it is mere folly; he cannot grasp it, because it is to be understood only by spiritual insight.

Do not you know that you are God's Temple, and that God's Spirit has his home in you?

What do you wish? Am I to come to you with a rod, or in a loving and gentle spirit?

There is a wide-spread report respecting a case of immorality among you, and that, too, of a kind that does not occur even among the Gentiles-a man, I hear, is living with his father's wife!

For I myself, though absent in body, have been present with you in spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus I have already passed judgment, just as if I had been present, upon the man who has acted in this way.

I have decided-having been present in spirit at your meetings, when the power of the Lord Jesus was with us-

To deliver such a man as this over to Satan, that what is sensual in him may be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved at the Day of the Lord.

Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ's People! you were pronounced righteous through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God!

While a man who is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit?

Again, do not you know that your body is a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you-the Spirit which you have from God?

And so his interests are divided. Again, the unmarried woman, whether she is old or young, is anxious about the Master's Cause, striving to be pure both in body and in spirit, while the married woman is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please her husband.

Yet she will be happier if she remains as she is-in my opinion, for I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

Therefore, whoever eats the bread, or drinks the Lord's cup, in an irreverent spirit, will have to answer for an offence against the Lord's body and blood.

Therefore I tell you plainly that no one who speaks under the influence of the Spirit of God says 'JESUS IS ACCURSED,' and that no one can say 'JESUS IS LORD,' except under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Gifts differ, but the Spirit is the same;

To one is given the power to speak with wisdom through the Spirit; to another the power to speak with knowledge, due to the same Spirit;

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another power to cure diseases by the one Spirit; to another supernatural powers;

All these result from one and the same Spirit, who distributes his gifts to each individually as he wills.

For it was by one Spirit that we were all baptized to form one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free men, and were all imbued with one Spirit.

He who, when speaking, uses the gift of 'tongues' is speaking, not to men, but to God, for no one understands him; yet in spirit he is speaking of hidden truths.

If, when praying, I use the gift of 'tongues,' my spirit indeed prays, but my mind is a blank.

What, then, is my conclusion? Simply this-I will pray with my spirit, but with my mind as well; I will sing with my spirit, but with my mind as well.

If you bless God with your spirit only, how can the man in the congregation who is without your gift say 'Amen' to your thanksgiving? He does not know what you are saying!

(The spirit that moves the preachers is within the preachers' control;

That is what is meant by the words-'Adam, the first man, became a human being'; the last Adam became a Life-giving spirit.

Let everything you do be done in a loving spirit.
