'Given' in the Bible

And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.

For I can testify that to the utmost of their power, and even beyond their power, they have of their own free will given help.

As it is written, "He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his almsgiving remains for ever."

If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.

For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.
