Luke 1:39–41 Mary, 57, 67, 76–79 thou; I Corinthians 12:7–9 the, 11; I Corinthians 3:11, 23

Luke 1:39. . . Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;

40And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

41And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

57Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

67And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,

76. . . thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

77To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

78Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

79To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

I Cor. 12:7. . . the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

3:11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

23And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
