1. (Acts 1:8) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. 1.

2.  (1 Corinthians 3:1-3) Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly--mere infants in Christ. {2} I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. {3} You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere (unsaved) men?

3.  (Romans 7:18-24) I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. {19} …the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. {22} For in my inner being I delight in God's law; {23} but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind...  {24} What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?  (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!

4.  (Romans 8:1-3) Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, {2}…the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. {3} For what the law was powerless to do (rules) … God did by sending his own Son …  (Romans 8:8-10) Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. {9} You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit…

5.  (1 John 5:16) If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death.  (James 5:19-20) My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, {20} remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
