For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
