Joel 2:28-29 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh ; 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. Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but he that cometh after me

4 4 is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire; Phillips He will baptize you with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Mark 16:17 Goodspeed Knox Barclay And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. they will speak in foreign tongues. they will speak in tongues that are strange to them they will speak in strange languages. Luke 4:18 Weymouth The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised to proclaim Good News to the poor to announce release to the prisoners of war to send away free those whom tyranny has crushed

Luke 24:29 And, behold I send the promise of my

John 7:38,39 Cotton Patch Barclay Greber Berkeley In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. From the heart of the man who lives, my life will flow, as the Bible says, floods of life-giving water. (he was referring to the spirit, which those who live his life were to receive). as the scripture says rivers of living water shall flow from within him, in saying this, he was speaking about the spirit whom those who believed in him were going to receive fountains of living water will gush from within him. streams of living water will flow

John 14:15 New Life Schonfield If ye love me, keep my commandments. If you love me, you will do what I say. If you care for me, carry out my instructions; John 14:16 Williams Riverside Plain English And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. another helper another counselor another Friend

ANOTHER Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener and Standby) John 14:17 Basic English Knox New Life Weymouth Wuest Wade Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him, but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you. that spirit the world is not able to take to its heart. it is the truth-giving spirit, for whom the world can find no room the world cannot receive him that spirit the world cannot receive whom the world is not able to receive whom the world cannot receive because it does not behold him with physical vision, and so does not recognize Him.

10 10 John 14:26 Phillips Taylor 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. But the one who is coming to stand by you, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher and will bring to your mind all that I have said to you. But when the Father sends the comforter to represent me-and by the comforter I mean the Holy Spirit-He will teach you much more as well as remind you of everything I myself have told you. John 15:26 Kliest & Lilly But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me. When the advocate whom I am going to send you with a mission from the Father the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, has come, he will witness in my behalf

11 11 John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. John 16:13 Montgomery Barclay Weymouth Basic English Crickmer Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak; and he will shew you things to come.

Acts 1:4-5 And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water: but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and

13 ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 13 Wuest Syriac Knox Good News Cotton Patch New Life But you shall receive power of the kind which God has and exerts after the Holy Spirit has come upon you ye will receive energy you will receive strength from Him. But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me you will get power and will be my agents you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes into your life. Acts 2:4 Phillips Translator s And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they started speaking in other languages.

14 14 Beck Barclay They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and started to speak in other languages as the Spirit have them the ability to speak. as the spirit enabled them to speak. Acts 2:33 Living Bible Beck Translator s Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. and just as promised, the father has sent the Holy Spirit, with the results you are seeing and hearing today. he poured out what you see and hear. he poured out what you yourselves are seeing and hearing. Acts 6:3 Wherefore, Brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. Acts 8:14-15 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had re-

15 15 ceived the word of God, they sent unto Peter and John; who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. Berkeley New Life who on coming down there, prayed for the believers to receive the Holy Spirit they prayed that the new followers might receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house, and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 10:44-47 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. (45) And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. (46) For they heard them speak

16 16 with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, (47) Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Beck Cotton Patch Barclay (44) The Holy Spirit came down o all who heard the Word The Holy Spirit came over all the listeners. (46) for they heard them speaking with tongues and praising God. Acts 11:15-17 Rieu And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. (16) Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. (17) Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? (15) descended on them as he did originally on us. 20 th Century (17) God has given them the very same gift Moffatt Cotton Patch exactly the same gift well then, if God s gift to them was

17 exactly the same as ours when we put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, what right did I have to argue with God? 17 Acts 19:1-2 Knox Greber Phillips Cotton Patch Worrell And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. nobody ever mentioned to us the existence of a Holy Spirit. did you receive a Holy Spirit AF- TER you had accepted the faith? did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? No they replied. When you came over to the faith, did you get the Holy Spirit? They said we heard no mention of Holy Spirit? Did ye receive the Holy Spirit after having believed? Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them the Holy Ghost came on them, and they spake with tongues and prophesied.

18 18 Jerusalem Wuest Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came down on them, and they began to speak with tongues and to prophesy. They began speaking in languages (other than their own and unacquired) and began to prophecy. Romans 8:11 Way Barclay New English But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. If the Spirit of God, of Him who raised Jesus from the dead, has it home in you, then He who raised the Messiah Jesus from the dead will thrill with a new life your very bodies those mortal bodies of yours but the agency of His own Spirit, which now has its home in you. If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, has his home in you, God, who raised Christ from the dead, will give life even to your bodies, subject to death though they are, through the power of his Spirit, who comes and makes his home within you. the God who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give new life to your mortal bodies through his indwelling Spirit.

19 19 Phillips Weymouth Conybeare Wade Godbey Rotherham Goodspeed Wuest he will, by the same Spirit, bring to your whole being new strength and vitality. will give life to shall endow with life also your dying bodies who raised Jesus to Life from among the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus to Life from among the dead will endue with Life you own mortal bodies also, through His Spirit that reside in you. will also create life in your mortal bodies your death-doomed bodies If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead has taken possession of you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give your mortal bodies life through his Spirit that has now taken possession of you. the spirit of the One who raised Jesus out from among the dead is in residence in you the Spirit who is resident in you. Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we

20 20 should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Wuest New Life Phillips Basic English Plain English New American Goodspeed Translator s New English Byington The Spirit lends us a helping hand with reference to our weakness for the particular thing we should pray for according to what is necessary in nature of the case, we do not know with an absolute knowledge the Holy Spirit prays to God for us with sounds that cannot be put into words. helps us in our present limitations the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say. the Spirit prays on our behalf with inward cries beyond ordinary speech. with groanings too deep for words. with inexpressible yearnings. with our inarticulate cries. we do not even know how we ought to pray (or what is right to pray for), but through our inarticulate groans the Spirit himself is pleading for us. the Spirit too takes hold to help our weaknesses; for we do not know what prayers to make as we need to, but the Spirit itself intercedes by groans

21 21 which cannot be put into words. Blackwelder Bare. Jerusalem Wand Johnson Schonfield New Life The Spirit give assistance in our weaknesses he takes hold (of our problems) on the other side the Spirit himself intercedes for us, when the only prayers what we can offer are inarticulate cries. for when we cannot choose words in order to pray properly, the Spirit Himself comes to our assistance with inarticulate groanings. We do not even know precisely that we ought to pray for. But the Spirit Himself comes to our assistance with inarticulate groanings. we also have the Spirit, who compensates for our inadequacies. Likewise the Spirit comes to the assistance of our limitations; for we do not know how to express ourselves adequately in prayer. But the Spirit itself makes intercession with speechless moans the Holy Spirit prays to God for us with sounds that cannot be put into words. Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spir-

22 22 it, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Wuest Cotton Patch Weymouth Schonfield Syriac Translator s but the Spirit himself comes to our rescue by interceding with unutterable groanings. he who X-rays our hearts His intercessions for God s people are in Harmony with God s will. and God who searches hearts knows what is the sense of the Spirit s utterances and the explorer of hearts, he knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit; because he prayeth for the saints, agreeably to the good pleasure of God. For it is God s will that the spirit should approach him on behalf of his own people. Romans 11:29 Wade Way For the gifts and callings of God are without repentence. For God s Boons are incapable of being withdrawn, and His call is incapable of being revoked. God, in fact, does not repent of bounty once bestowed, not withdrawn an invitation once given

23 23 Beck Good News God never changes His mind when He give anything or calls anyone. For God does not change his mind about whom he chooses and blesses. New Amer. Standard are irrevocable I Corinthians 2:9 Wade But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Realities (in the words of Scripture) which eye hath not seen nor ear heard 20 th Century for the Spirit fathoms all things, even the inmost depths of God s being. I Corinthians 2:10 Basic English Syriac Wand But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit the Spirit exploreth all things, even the profound things of God. This revelation God has given us through His Spirit

24 24 I Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 20 th Century For what man is there who knows what a man is, except the man s own spirit within him? So also, no one comprehends what God is, except the Spirit of God. I Corinthians 2:12 Wade Williams Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which proceeds from God, that we may understand the Favours lavished by God upon us that we may get an insight into the blessings God has graciously given us. 20 th Century that we may realize the blessings given us by him. I Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spir-

Favours of which we also speak, not in discourses taught by human philosophy, but in discourses taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual truths in spiritual language. 20 th And we speak of these gifts, not in language taught by human philosophy, but in language taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things in spiritual words. Wand Way Living Oracles Rotherham Those are the subjects of which we treat in our addresses Yes, it is of these high themes that I them discourse, not in the rhetoric of the schools in terms of human philosophy; but in terms learnt in the Spirit s school do I embody spiritual conceptions in spiritual language. Which things, also, we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom; but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things in spiritual words. to spiritual (men) spiritual things explaining I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the

26 26 things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Wuest Rotherham Wade But the unregenerate man of highest intellectual attainments does not grant access to the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are folly, and he is not able to come to know them because they are investigated in a spiritual realm. But a man of the soul doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him and he cannot get to know them because spiritually are they examined. But the man who judges things only by the senses rejects the truths communicated by God s Spirit: to him they are sheer foolishness, and he cannot understand them, because it is only through spiritual insight that it is possible to penetrate to their meaning. 20 th Century The merely intellectual man rejects the teaching of the Spirit of God; for to him it is mere folly; he cannot grasp it, because it is to be understood only by spiritual insight. (15) But the man with spiritual insight is able to understand everything although he himself is understood by no one. Bruce The unspiritual man cannot take in the things which the Spirit of God im-

27 parts; they are folly to his way of thinking, and he is unable to apprehend them because they are assessed by the spiritual faculty. 27 Rotherham Moffat Godbey But a soulical man welcomes not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot ascertain (them) because spiritually are they searched out. they must be read with the spiritual eye. But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned (discerned by the human spirit, not by the intellect). I Corinthians 3:16 Basic English Barclay Williams Wand Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? you are God s holy house Are you not aware that you are God s temple, and that the Holy Spirit has his home in you? Are you not conscious Don t you realize that you are a temple of God, in which the Spirit of God resides?

28 28 I Corinthians 6:19 Williams Barclay Basic English What! Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Or, are you not conscious? Are you not aware? But to every man some form of the Spirit s working is given for the common good. I Corinthians 12:9 Basic English Rotherham Godbey To another the working of miracles; to another proghecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues. inward workings of deeds of power and to another the workings of dynamites I Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

29 29 Way Rotherham but, in all these, it is one and the same Spirit that is the energizing source. But, all these, inwardly works the one and the same Spirit I Corinthians 14:2 Translator s Bruce Berkeley Rotherham Johnson Conybeare Schonfield For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God, for no man understandeth him, howbeit in the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. he speaks secrets by inspiration. if a man speaks in a tongue it is to God that he speaks, not his fellowman. he is uttering secret matters in the spirit in the spirit he is speaking sacred secrets only God knows what he is saying. but with his spirit he utters mysteries. he is speaking mysterious things in spirit language. I Corinthians 14:4

30 30 Rotherham Berkeley Barclay Laubach He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. for he that speaks with a tongue buildeth up himself. he who speaks in a tongue improves himself. he is no doubt building up his own spiritual life. so a person speaking in tongues helps himself grow spiritually. I Corinthians 14:5 Cornish I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. I would have you all to speak with such tongues that New American I should like it if all of spoke in tongues I Corinthians 14:14-15 For if I pray in unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the Spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also; I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the un-

31 31 derstanding also. Amplified Wuest Translator s Conybeare for if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit by the Holy Spirit within me prays for if I am praying in a tongue, my spirit (the human spirit as moved by the Holy Spirit) is praying For if I pray in a tongue; it is my spirit which prays I will pray indeed with my spirit, but I will pray with my understanding also; I will sing praises with my spirit, but I will sing with my understanding also. I Corinthians 14:18 Conybeare I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all; I offer thanksgiving to God in private speaking in tongues more than any of you.

32 32 I Corinthians 14:23 New English New Life Knox Phillips If therefore the whole church become together into one place and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? and all are using the strange tongue all the people are speaking everyone speaking with strange tongues so that, if at a full church meeting you are all speaking with tongues. I Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. II Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Now, by the Lord is meant the Spirit; and where the Spirit excercises lordship, there is freedom. Conybeare Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord abides, there bondage gives place to freedom.

33 33 Cotton Patch Weymouth Moffatt where the Lord s Spirit rules, so does freedom. where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is enjoyed. there is open freedom. II Corinthians 3:18 Wade But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. And all we believers, with unveiled face mirror Him who is the Glory of the Lord, and so become essentially transformed into the same Divine Likeness (which we previously only reflected), passing from one degree of glory to a higher even such glory as radiates from One who Lord and Spirit. II Corinthians 6:16 Laubach And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. For you are God s temple, the home of the Living God.

34 34 Basic English Wuest Jerusalem we are a house of the living God. we are an inner sanctuary of the Living God, even as God said, I will dwell in them in fellowship with them as in a home and I will live my life in and through them. that is what we are the temple of the living God. We have God s Word for it: I will make my home them and I live with them Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise. Ephesians 3:16 Cotton Patch Wand Way That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; I beg him to give you, out of his glorious abundance, the power to win by his Spirit ruling your inner life. I pray then that out of the wealth of His glory He will grant you to be mightily strengthened by His Spirit in the very core of your being I pray that He may, with a fullness

35 35 measured only by the wealth of His own glory, vouch safe to you to be made strong with power infused by His Spirit into your inmost nature. Jerusalem Williams Weymouth Barclay Berkeley Tomanek Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong. mightily strengthened by His Spirit in your inmost being. strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being. strengthened in power through His Spirit in you inner being. empowered with strength in the inner self in the man within. Ephesians 5:18,19 Translator s Bruce And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in you heart to the Lord. let the spirit fill you. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs let your fullness be that which the

36 36 spirit imparts Beck Knox but let the spirit fill you as you speak and with your hearts sing. your tongues unloosed in psalms and hymns and spiritual music, as you sing and give praise to the Lord in your hearts. Philippians 1:6 Centenary Plain English Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Of this I am fully persuaded, that He who has begun a good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ. For I am sure that he that began a good work in you will go on making it better and better until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:13 Good News Wuest For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. God is always at work in you to make you willing and able to obey his own purpose. God is the One who is constantly put-

37 ting forth His energy in you, both in the form of your being desirous of and of your doing His good pleasures 37 Berkeley Weymouth Way Barclay Norlie For God is the Energizer within you, so as to will and to work for His delight. It is God who is all the while supplying the impulse, giving you the power to resolve, the strength to perform, the execution of His good pleasure. It is God who is all the while supplying the impulse, giving you the power to resolve, the strength to perform, the execution of His good pleasure. For it is God who is at work in you, to put into you the will to desire and the power to achieve what his purpose has planned for you. It is really God who works in you, so that you are not only willing but also able to carry out His loving purposes. I Thessalonians 5:23 Moffatt And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the God of peace consecrate you through and through

38 38 Diaglott Good News Goodspeed Centenary Berkeley may your whole person May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being spirit, soul, and body free from fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Spirit, Soul, and body may you be kept sound be kept altogether faultless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.. and may the God of peace Himself make you holy through and through. May your spirit be without a flaw and your soul and body* maintained blameless Note: With Paul the human spirit is the unseen self related to God, while the soul is thought of as related to the visible world. Not seldom soul may mean spirit, but not in its highest functions. At times the soul is so involved with the passions, that antagonism against the spirit is felt. II Timothy 1:14 Laubach That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. Guard will the splendid, God-given ability you received as a gift from the Holy Spirit who lives within you.

39 39 Centenary Weymouth Williams Guard the glorious trust which has been committed to you by the aid of the Holy Spirit who makes his home in you.
