Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,

Only, let each one live the life which the Lord has assigned him, and to which God has called him [for each person is unique and is accountable for his choices and conduct, let him walk in this way]. This is the rule I make in all the churches.

Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, [that special endowment] which was intentionally bestowed on you [by the Holy Spirit] through prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands on you [at your ordination].

By this we know [with confident assurance] that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given to us His [Holy] Spirit.
