'Spirit' in the Bible

My speech and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a powerful demonstration by the Spirit,

Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God.

We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

But the unbeliever does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually.

Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s sanctuary and that the Spirit of God lives in you?

What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

For though I am absent in body but present in spirit, I have already decided about the one who has done this thing as though I were present.

When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus with my spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus,

turn that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.

And some of you used to be like this. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

But anyone joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

Don’t you know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

But she is happier if she remains as she is, in my opinion. And I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

Now concerning what comes from the Spirit: brothers, I do not want you to be unaware.

Therefore I am informing you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial:

to one is given a message of wisdomthrough the Spirit,to another, a message of knowledgeby the same Spirit,

to another, faith by the same Spirit,to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

But one and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as He wills.

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

For the person who speaks in another language is not speaking to men but to God, since no one understands him; however, he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.

So also you—since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in building up the church.

For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

What then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with my understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with my understanding.

Otherwise, if you praise with the spirit, how will the uninformed person say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore recognize such people.
