John 1:1-5,12-14,32,33
1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2The same was in the beginning with God. 1:3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 1:4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1:5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
1:12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 1:13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 1:14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 1:32And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him. 1:33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

John 14:16,17,23,26
14:16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, 14:17[even] the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you. 14:26But the Comforter, [even] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.

John 15:26
15:26But 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 bear witness of me:

Acts 2:33
2:31He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 2:32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 2:33Therefore 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.

Acts 10:36-38
10:36The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all.) -- 10:37that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 10:38[even] Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Acts 17:22-29

17:22Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, [Ye] men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 17:23For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 17:24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 17:25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 17:26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 17:27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 17:28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 17:29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 17:30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Romans 1:3,4
1:3concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 1:4who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord

Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Romans 8:9-11,26,27
8:9But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 8:10And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. 8:11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 8:26And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for [us] with groanings which cannot be uttered; 8:27and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

1 Corinthians 2:10,11
2:10But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 2:11For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 6:19
6:19Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;

1 Corinthians 8:6
8:6yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

1 Corinthians 12:3-6
12:3Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. 12:4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 12:5And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. 12:6And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.

2 Corinthians 1:21,22
1:21Now he that establisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God; 1:22who also sealed us, and gave [us] the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

2 Corinthians 3:17
3:17Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty.

2 Corinthians 5:5
5:5Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 13:14
13:14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

Galatians 4:4,6
4:4but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 4:6And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Ephesians 2:13-18
2:13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 2:14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us]; 2:15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace; 2:16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 2:17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 2:18For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Philippians 1:19
1:19For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Colossians 1:19
1:12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 1:13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: 1:14In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins: 1:15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 1:16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 1:17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 1:18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence. 1:19For in him all the fulness [of the Godhead] was pleased to dwell

Colossians 2:9
2:6As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him: 2:7Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 2:8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 2:9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 2:10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

2 Thessalonians 2:13,14,16
2:13But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2:14whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2:16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace

1 Timothy 3:16
3:16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

Titus 3:4-6
3:4But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, 3:5not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 3:6which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Hebrews 9:14
9:14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 9:15And 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.

1 Peter 1:2
1:2according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

1 John 5:6,7

Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 1:6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 4:8
4:8and the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.

This word, instead of theos, was purposely used by the Apostle in speaking to Greeks on Mars Hill, as in accordance with Greek usage. Cp. DIVINITY.

Gen 1:4 And God [0430] saw [07200] (8799) [0853] the light [0216], that [03588] [it was] good [02896]: and God [0430] divided [0914] (8686) [0996] the light [0216] from [0996] the darkness [02822].
