THE HOLY SPIRIT in the New Testament - the Letters Part 7

EPHESIANS 

 

Ephesians 5:18-20 

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from  your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

(see all Ephesians 5)

Ephesians 6:17-18  

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

    And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.  

(see all Ephesians 6)

 

PHILIPPIANS

 

Philippians 1:18-19  

But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.

    Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and God's provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.  (see all Philippians 1)

Philippians 2:1-2  

    Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.  

(see Philippians 2:1-11) 

 

COLOSSIANS

 

Colossians 1:6-11  

... In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world--just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God's grace. You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, and who also told us of your love in the Spirit. 

    For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, ...  (see all Colossians 1)
