sanctified in the Holy Spirit,” and elsewhere: “But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.” 3.6 a spirit of power and of love and of self-control, as Paul wrote in his second epistle to Timothy: “for God did not give you a spirit of slavery, but a spirit of power and of love and of self-control,” and to the Romans: “I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,” and elsewhere: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,” 3.7 similar to the saying: “God is love,” and to the saying: “He has delivered us into the kingdom of the Son of His love;” and: “as Christ loved the church,” and again: “of the Son of God, who loved me,” similar also to the saying: “From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the power of the Father,” and to the saying: “I perceived that power has gone out from me.” 3.8 the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and godliness; the spirit of the fear of God, the spirit of judgment and of burning, as Isaiah prophesies; and as Wisdom says: “for the spirit of wisdom is a lover of mankind,” and as Moses recounts in Exodus: “Behold, God has called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding and knowledge,” and according to Baruch: “You have forsaken the fountain of wisdom,” and as the Proverbs teach: “God by wisdom founded the earth, and prepared the heavens by understanding,” as Isaiah said concerning God the Father: “He himself being wise has brought evils upon them.” But concerning the Only-begotten, Paul said: “Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God;” and another: “I will bless the Lord who has given me understanding.” 3.9 a spirit of gentleness, as Paul admonishes the Galatians: “Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.” 3.10 a spirit of discipline, that is, of wisdom. For Wisdom says: “The spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and will remove from thoughts that are without understanding.” 3.11 a spirit of adoption, as Paul first sent to the Romans: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” 3.12 a spirit of promise, according to the same apostle writing to the Ephesians: “in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance,” and to the Galatians: “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’—that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” 3.13 a spirit of faith and of revelation, according to the same one to the Corinthians, declaring in the second epistle: “And since we have the same spirit of faith,” and again: “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.” Therefore, similar to what he declared to the Romans: “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son,” and to what was said by Moses in Deuteronomy: “and you shall know today that the Lord your God, this God is the faithful God,” and to the one who sings in the Psalms: “The Lord is faithful in all His words and holy in all His works.” 3.14 a governing spirit, an upright spirit, according to David confessing in the 50th Psalm: “uphold me with a governing spirit;” likewise to the one who sings in the 32nd Psalm: “for the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are in faithfulness,” and to Moses saying: “The Lord our God is upright and there is no unrighteousness in him.” 3.15 a spirit of grace, as the apostle writes to the Hebrews: “who has trampled the Son of God underfoot... and insulted the Spirit of grace,” for the same one wrote concerning the Father: “by the grace of God I am what I am
