from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; I TIM. iv. 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 2 TIM. i. 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 TIM. iv. Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy unto you, and peace, be multiplied. spirit. Grace be with you. HEB. i. Amen. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. I PETER i. 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: I PETER iii. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. JUDE. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. REV. i. John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; REV. i. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. REV. ii. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. REV. iii. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. REV. iii. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. REV. iii. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. REV. xi. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. REV. xiv. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. REV. xvi. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. REV. xvi. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. REV. xvii. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. REV. xviii. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. REV. xix. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: CHAPTER XV. COVENANT OF WORKS. 1. In what different senses is the term covenant used in Scripture? (a) For natural ordinance : JER. xxxiii. 19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying, 20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; 21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. (b) For an unconditional promise: GEN. ix. 11 And I will establish my cove nant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant be tween me and the earth. (c) For a conditional promise: ISAIAH i. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; (d) Dispensation or mode of administration: HEB. viii. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 and HEB. vii. 22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Twice-Heb. ix. 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. HEB. ix. 16, 17. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no. (4) The term diałýen, usually translated testament and covenant, signifies: a disposition of property by will; a testament, a will, a covenant. From diarionu, strength at all while the testator liveth. which from dia, emphatic, and rienμi, to put, to place, to fix, to settle, to determine. Occurs 33 times : HEB. ix. 20. 18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you, 20 REV. xi. |
