For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 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. — 1 Corinthians 2:10-12 (ESV)

Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

— Matthew 16:13-19 (NKJV)

In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going. — John 14:2-4 (ESV)

In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father." — John 16:25-28 (ESV)

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

— John 14:13-17 (ESV)

For He said, “Surely they are My people, Children who will not lie.”

So He became their Savior. In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them. All the days of old.

But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit;

So He turned Himself against them as an enemy, and He fought against them.

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying:

“Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them, Who led them by the right hand of Moses, with His glorious arm, dividing the water before them to make for Himself an everlasting name, Who led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, that they might not stumble?”

As a beast goes down into the valley, and the Spirit of the LORD (YHVH) causes him to rest, so You lead Your people, to make Yourself a glorious name.

— Isaiah 63:7-14 (NKJV)

  • And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
  • Your old men shall dream dreams,
  • Your young men shall see visions.
• And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit.
• ...

— Joel 2:27-29 (KJV), Acts 2:17

When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. — Matthew 1:18 (ESV)

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. — Luke 1:35 (KJV)

Yet He warned them not to make him known, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

— Matthew 12:16-18 (NKJV)

These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them... For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. — Matthew 10:5,20 (ESV)

But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.” — Acts 5:3-4 (ESV)

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’ ” (Psalm 95:7-11)

Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

— Hebrews 3:7-12 (ESV)

The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet: “Go to this people, and say, ‘You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.’ For this people's heart has grown dull...” — Acts 28:25-27 (ESV)

For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

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. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.

“For who has understood the mind of the LORD (Isaiah 40:13) so as to instruct him?”

— 1 Corinthians 2:11-16 (ESV)

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (ESV)

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.

...

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

— John 14:16,26 (KJV)

Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the LORD (Deuteronomy 30:10; Psalm 22:27), the veil is removed.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. — 2 Corinthians 3:15-18

For there are three that testify:

• the Spirit and
• the water and
• the blood;

and these three agree. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater.

— 1 John 5:7-9 (ESV)

Paul, an apostle - not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead... — Galatians 1:1 (ESV)

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the Spirit — 1 Peter 3:18 (ESV)

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. — 2 Corinthians 13:14 (ESV)

That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. — 1 John 1:3

Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

• concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
• concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
• concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

— John 16:7-15 (ESV)

And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. — John 17:3 (ESV)

But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?

While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

— Acts 5:3-4 (ESV)

And the Spirit said to Philip... — Acts 8:29 (ESV)

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. — Romans 8:26 (ESV)

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

— Romans 8:31 (ESV)

5241 hyperentygxánō (from 5228 /hypér, "for benefit" and 1793/entygxanō, "come in line with") – properly, to light upon (happen); literally, "bending over" to intercede, "confer benefit" (cf. R, 629). — HELPS Word-studies

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. — 2 Corinthians 13:14 (ESV)
