Holy Spirit

Moreover, it is God who has prepared us for this very thing, and as a pledge he has given us his Spirit.

We commend ourselves by our purity, knowledge, patience and kindness; by the Ruach HaKodesh; by genuineness of love

The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the love of God and the fellowship of the Ruach HaKodesh be with you all.

I want to know from you just this one thing: did you receive the Spirit by legalistic observance of Torah commands or by trusting in what you heard and being faithful to it?

Are you that stupid? Having begun with the Spirit’s power, do you think you can reach the goal under your own power?

What about God, who supplies you with the Spirit and works miracles among you — does he do it because of your legalistic observance of Torah commands or because you trust in what you heard and are faithful to it?

Yeshua the Messiah did this so that in union with him the Gentiles might receive the blessing announced to Avraham, so that through trusting and being faithful, we might receive what was promised, namely, the Spirit.

Now because you are sons, God has sent forth into our hearts the Spirit of his Son, the Spirit who cries out, “Abba!” (that is, “Dear Father!”).

But just as then the one born according to limited human capability persecuted the one born through the Spirit’s supernatural power, so it is now.

For it is by the power of the Spirit, who works in us because we trust and are faithful, that we confidently expect our hope of attaining righteousness to be fulfilled.

What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit. Then you will not do what your old nature wants.

For the old nature wants what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is contrary to the old nature. These oppose each other, so that you find yourselves unable to carry out your good intentions.

But if you are led by the Spirit, then you are not in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Torah into legalism.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Since it is through the Spirit that we have Life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day.

Those who keep sowing in the field of their old nature, in order to meet its demands, will eventually reap ruin; but those who keep sowing in the field of the Spirit will reap from the Spirit everlasting life.

Furthermore, you who heard the message of the truth, the Good News offering you deliverance, and put your trust in the Messiah were sealed by him with the promised Ruach HaKodesh,

news that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

Yes, in union with him, you yourselves are being built together into a spiritual dwelling-place for God!

In past generations it was not made known to mankind, as the Spirit is now revealing it to his emissaries and prophets,

I pray that from the treasures of his glory he will empower you with inner strength by his Spirit,

and making every effort to preserve the unity the Spirit gives through the binding power of shalom.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as when you were called you were called to one hope.

Don’t cause grief to God’s Ruach HaKodesh, for he has stamped you as his property until the day of final redemption.

for the fruit of the light is in every kind of goodness, rightness and truth —
