Thematic Bible: Of spiritual gifts


Thematic Bible



Now the one who makes us and you as well secure in union with the Messiah and has anointed us is God,


The anointing you received from God abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you this. Instead, because God's anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not a lie, abide in him, as he taught you to do.






You strengthened me with valor sufficient for the battle; you made those who rebelled against me fall beneath me.

At that time, the LORD of the Heavenly Armies will become a glorious crown, a beautiful diadem for the remnant of his people, and a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment, a source of strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

Through flattery he'll corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but people who know their God will be strong and take action.



After all, to the person who is good in God's sight, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner he gives the troublesome task of acquiring and accumulating in order to leave it to someone who is good in the sight of God. This also is pointless and chasing after the wind.






"Let everyone listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone. On the white stone is written a new name that no one knows except the person who receives it.'"





For this is what the LORD says: "To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths, who choose the things that please me, and who hold fast my covenant to them I will give in my house and within my walls a monument and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
