The Promise of the Holy Spirit

1 In the first book, O ^fTheophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began ^gto do and teach, 2 until the day when ^hhe was taken up, after he ⁱhad given commands ^jthrough the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 ^kHe presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

1 Timothy 3:16

16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:

^rbelieved on in the world,
^staken up in glory.
