6 which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
"It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; And your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.
