'Spirit' in the Bible

But God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.

Is there anyone who can understand his own thoughts except his own inner spirit? In the same way, no one can know the thoughts of God except God's Spirit.

Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.

We don't speak about these things with words taught us by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things to spiritual people.

A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the things of God's Spirit, for they are nonsense to him. He can't understand them because they are spiritually evaluated.

You know that you are God's sanctuary and that God's Spirit lives in you, don't you?

Which do you prefer? Should I come to you with a stick, or with love and a gentle spirit?

Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you.

In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are gathered together (and I am there in spirit), and the power of our Lord Jesus is there, too,

turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah and by the Spirit of our God.

But the person who unites himself with the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

You know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God, don't you? You do not belong to yourselves,

An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, that is, about how she can please her husband. I'm saying this for your benefit, not to put a noose around your necks, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord.

However, in my opinion she will be happier if she stays as she is. And in saying this, I think that I, too, have God's Spirit.

For this reason I want you to be aware that no one who is speaking by God's Spirit can say, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit,

To each person has been given the ability to manifest the Spirit for the common good.

To one has been given a message of wisdom by the Spirit; to another the ability to speak with knowledge according to the same Spirit;

to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit;

But one and the same Spirit produces all these results and gives what he wants to each person.

For by one Spirit all of us Jews and Greeks, slaves and free were baptized into one body and were all privileged to drink from one Spirit.

For the person who speaks in a foreign language is not actually speaking to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands him, because he is talking about secrets by the Spirit.

For if I pray in a foreign language, my spirit prays but my mind is not productive.

What does this mean? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing psalms with my spirit, but I will also sing psalms with my mind.

Otherwise, if you say a blessing with your spirit, how can an otherwise uneducated person say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you're saying?

This, indeed, is what is written: "The first man, Adam, became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

They refreshed my spirit and yours, too. Therefore, appreciate men like that.
