Go therefore, make disciples of all nations;-- Mt28,19
baptise them
in the name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
After Jesus was baptized He came up from the water-- Mt3,16
and behold, the heavens were opened,
and He saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove coming upon Him.
And a voice came from the heavens saying,
`This is My beloved Son,
with Whom I am well pleased.'
I shall ask the Father-- Jn14,16
and He will give you another Paraclete
to be with you forever.
I have said these things to you while still with you;-- Jn14,26
but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My name,
will teach you everything
and remind you of all I have said to you.
When the Paraclete comes,-- Jn15,26
whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth
who issues from the Father,
He will be My witness.
Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,-- Ep1,3-14
who has blessed us
with all the spiritual blessings of heaven in Christ.
Thus He chose us in Christ
before the world was made
to be holy and faultless before Him in love ...
You have been stamped
with the seal of the Holy Spirit
of the Promise,
who is the pledge of our inheritance.
There is one Body, one Spirit,-- Ep4,4-6
just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God.
There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
and one God and Father of all,
over all, through all and within all.
This then, is what I pray,-- Ep3,14-17a
kneeling before the Father,
from whom every fatherhood,
in heaven or on earth,
takes its name.
In the abundance of His glory
may He, through His Spirit,
enable you to grow firm in power
with regard to your inner self,
so that Christ may live
in your hearts through faith.
There are many different gifts-- 1Co12,4
but it is always the same Spirit,
There are many different ways of serving,
but it is always the same Lord.
There are many different forms of activity,
but in everybody it is the same God
who is at work in them all.
