5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from or where it is going; so it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
John 7:37–39
37 On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within him.” 39 He said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon them, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
John 14:16–17
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, because He abides with you and will be in you.

Acts 2:1–4
1 When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Romans 8:9–16
9 But you live not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage to again return to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
1 Corinthians 12:4–11
4 There are different gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are different ministries, but the same Lord; 6 and there are different workings, but the same God who works all things in all people. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit a word of wisdom, to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit; 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
Galatians 5:16–25
16 I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, 21 drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such people there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Ephesians 1:13–14
13 In Him you also, having heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation, and having believed in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance, until the redemption of God’s possession, His, to the praise of His glory.
Ephesians 4:30
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
1 Thessalonians 5:19
Do not quench the Spirit.
