Verses about the holy spirit

Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of Elohim was hovering over the surface of the waters.

And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the spirit of Elohim, with wisdom, and with understanding, and with knowledge, and with all kinds of work, to devise designs, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in all kinds of work.

The spirit of YHWH clothed Gideon, and he blew the horn, and Abiezer was summoned after him.

Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the spirit of YHWH came mightily upon David from that day onward. Samuel rose and went to Ramah.

A clean heart create for me, Elohim, and a firm spirit renew within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and your holy spirit do not take from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and let a generous spirit sustain me.

Where shall I go from your spirit, and where from your face shall I flee? If I go up to the heavens, there you are; and if I make my bed in Sheol, look, you are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell at the farthest end of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will take hold of me.

And a shoot will come out from the trunk of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. And the spirit of YHWH will rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH. And his delight will be in the fear of YHWH; and he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by what his ears hear;

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh. And my spirit I will put within you, and I will bring it about that you walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them.

The hand of YHWH was upon me, and he brought me out in the spirit of YHWH and set me down in the midst of the plain; and it was full of bones. And he made me pass by them all around; and look, they were very many on the face of the plain; and look, they were very dry. And he said to me, “Son of man, will these bones live?” And I said, “Adonai YHWH, you know.” And he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of YHWH. Thus says Adonai YHWH to these bones: Look, I am bringing spirit into you, and you will live. And I will put sinews on you, and I will bring up flesh on you, and I will cover you with skin, and I will put spirit in you, and you will live; and you will know that I am YHWH.’”

And he answered and said to me, saying, “This is the word of YHWH to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by army and not by power, but by my spirit, says YHWH Tsevaot.

And it will happen afterward that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. And even on the male slaves and on the female slaves in those days I will pour out my spirit.

And look, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

And while gathered together with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “which you heard from me; for John immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” So those who had come together were asking him, saying, “Lord, are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him. You know him, because he remains with you and will be in you.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and remind you of all that I said to you.

But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you in all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will announce to you the things to come.

And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all together in the same place. And suddenly there came from heaven a roar like that of a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, being distributed, and one rested on each of them. And all were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out.

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and the other apostles, “What shall we do, brothers?” And Peter said to them, “Change your minds, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Jesus the Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all those far away, as many as the Lord our God may call.”

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless someone is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wants, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from and where it goes. So it is with everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”

For all who are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received a spirit of adoption as sons, by which we cry out, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

And likewise the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with groanings that cannot be uttered. And he who searches the hearts knows what the mindset of the Spirit is, because he intercedes for the saints according to God.

And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For to us God revealed it through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? So also no one has known the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we did not receive the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

in whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is the pledge of our inheritance for the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of his glory.

Or do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought at a price. So glorify God in your body.

But I say: walk by the Spirit, and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are opposed to one another, so that you do not do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those of the Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Remain in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

And do not get drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and praising with psalms in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah to God the Father,

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, and the same Lord; and there are varieties of workings, but the same God who works all things in all. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the benefit of all. For to one through the Spirit is given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another workings of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discernment of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues. But all these things the one and the same Spirit works, distributing to each one individually just as he wills.

For just as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function, so we, the many, are one body in the Messiah, and individually members of one another. And having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, if it is prophecy, let it be according to the proportion of faith; if service, in serving; if the one who teaches, in teaching; if the one who encourages, in encouragement; the one who gives, with generosity; the one who leads, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Each one, as he has received a gift, serving one another with it as good stewards of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as speaking the words of God; if anyone serves, let him serve as from the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus the Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

And he himself gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as shepherds and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, for the building up of the body of the Messiah, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Messiah,

Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God; for no one understands him, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries. But the one who prophesies speaks to people words of building up and encouragement and comfort.

For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of sound judgment.
