Acts 2:38
38Peter answered them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. ▼▼Or the gift of the Holy Spirit
Luke 24:47; Acts 3:19 Acts 8:15
15They went down and prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.Acts 2:38Acts 10:47
47“No one can stop us from using water to baptize these people who have received the Holy Spirit in the same way that we did, can he?”Acts 11:17; 15:8-9; Rom 10:12Acts 15:8
8God, who knows everyone's heart, showed them he approved by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.1Chr 28:9; Acts 1:24; 10:44Romans 10:16-17
16But not everyone has obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah asks, “Lord, who has believed our message?” ▼▼Isa 53:1
Isa 53:1; John 12:38; Rom 3:3; Heb 4:2 17Consequently, faith comes from listening, and listening comes through the word of Christ. ▼▼Other mss. read of God
Galatians 3:14
14This happened ▼▼The Gk. lacks This happened
in order that the blessing promised to ▼▼Lit. the blessing of
Abraham would come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promised Spirit ▼▼Or the promise of the Spirit
through faith.Isa 32:15; 44:3; Jer 31:33; 32:40; Ezek 11:19; 36:27; Joel 2:28-29; Zech 12:10; John 7:39; Acts 2:33; Rom 4:9, 16 Ephesians 1:13
13You, too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in him you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,John 1:17; 2Cor 1:22; 6:7; Eph 4:30Hebrews 6:4
4For it is impossible to keep on restoring to repentance time and again people who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have become sharers of the Holy Spirit,Matt 12:31-32; John 4:10; 6:32; Gal 3:2, 5; Eph 2:8; Heb 2:4; 2Pet 2:20-21; 1John 5:16
