8Certainly, to one, through the Spirit, is given words of wisdom; but to another, according to the same Spirit, words of knowledge;
1Pursue charity. Be zealous for spiritual things, but only so that you may prophesy. 2For whoever speaks in tongues, speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands. Yet by the Spirit, he speaks mysteries. 3But whoever prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. 4Whoever speaks in tongues edifies himself. But whoever prophesies edifies the Church. 5Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but more so to prophesy. For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless perhaps he interprets, so that the Church may receive edification. 6But now, brothers, if I were to come to you speaking in tongues, how would it benefit you, unless instead I speak to you in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?
26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that I have said to you.
35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
8But you shall receive the power of the Holy Spirit, passing over you, and you shall be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”
10Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
6My people have become silent because they had no knowledge. Since you have rejected knowledge, I will drive you away; you do not perform the duties of the priesthood for me, and you have forgotten the law of your God, and so I will forget your sons.
1Now concerning spiritual things, I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers. 2You know that when you were Gentiles, you approached mute idols, doing what you were led to do. 3Because of this, I would have you know that no one speaking in the Spirit of God utters a curse against Jesus. And no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit. 4Truly, there are diverse graces, but the same Spirit. 5And there are diverse ministries, but the same Lord. 6And there are diverse works, but the same God, who works everything in everyone.
16All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice, 17so that the man of God may be perfect, having been trained for every good work.
1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 2“Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you shall say to those who prophesy from their own heart: Hear the word of the Lord: 3Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets, who are following their own spirit, and who see nothing. 4Your prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts. 5You have not gone up against the adversary, and you have not established a wall for the house of Israel, so as to stand in battle on the day of the Lord. 6They see emptiness, and they foretell falsehoods, saying, ‘The Lord says,’ though the Lord has not sent them. And they continued to affirm what they said.
11so also will my word be, which will go forth from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish whatever I will, and it will prosper in the tasks for which I sent it.
