God has given us his Spirit

God saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. 1 For in one Spirit we were all baptised. 2

God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 3 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. 4

God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, 5 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. 6

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 7 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 8

We worship by the Spirit of God. 9 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 10

It is the Spirit who gives life. 11 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. 12
