2 Thess 2:13-14.   But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jas 1:18.   Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 2 Cor 3:3,6.   Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. ...Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 1 Cor 2:12.   Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
