Cor. 2.12. We have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of GOD, that we might know the things that are given to us of GOD. Ezech. 12.10. I will pour the spirit of grace upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and they shall look unto me, whom they have wounded. Rom. 8.16. His spirit beareth witness to our spirit, that we are the sons of God. Eph. 1.13. In whom also ye have trust, after that ye heard the word of truth, even the Gospel of your salvation, wherein also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy spirit of promise. 2. Cor. 1.22.
