for the gospel dispensation does not consist in talk, but in power.

my discourse, and my preaching did not consist in the persuasive reasonings of human wisdom, but in demonstrating the spiritual meaning of the scriptures:

for by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

this is what we declare, not in the words which human wisdom, but which the holy spirit dictates; explaining spiritual things in a spiritual language.

let a speaker deliver nothing but what is agreeable to the divine oracles: and let him that attends the poor, be active in proportion to the strength God has given him. amen.

that your faith might not be owing to human wisdom, but to the divine influence.

for I will make you speak with such strength of argument, as all your adversaries shall not be able to contradict or withstand.

but when they take you. into custody, be not sollicitous, how or what ye shall speak, for at the very instant you shall be inspir'd what to say.

it is the action of the mind that vivifies, that of the body profits nothing: the words that I have delivered to you, spiritually understood, give life.

the tongue is a brand that sets the world in a combustion: it is but one of the numerous organs of the body, yet it can blast whole assemblies: tipp'd with infernal sulphur it sets the whole train of life in a blaze.

but Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life.

he that is of God, does therefore observe what God says: which you do not observe, because ye are not of God.

for they all married her. Jesus answered them, don't you see you are in a mistake, by being unacquainted with the scriptures, as well as with the power of God?
