But the Holy Spirit\r\ndoes not speak His own things, but\r\nthose of Christ, and that not from\r\nhimself, but from the Lord; even\r\nas the Lord also announced to us\r\nthe things that He received from\r\nthe Father. For, says He, “the\r\nword which ye hear is not mine,\r\nbut the Father’s, who sent me.”<a id=\"r802\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f802\"><sup>[802]</sup></a>\r\nAnd says He of the Holy Spirit,\r\n“He shall not speak of Himself,\r\nbut whatsoever things He shall\r\nhear from me.”<a id=\"r803\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f803\"><sup>[803]</sup></a> And He says of\r\nHimself to the Father, “I have,”\r\nsays He, “glorified Thee upon the\r\nearth; I have finished the work\r\nwhich Thou gavest me; I have\r\nmanifested Thy name to men.”<a id=\"r804\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f804\"><sup>[804]</sup></a>\r\nAnd of the Holy Ghost, “He\r\nshall glorify me, for He receives\r\nof mine.”<a id=\"r805\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f805\"><sup>[805]</sup></a> But the spirit of deceit\r\npreaches himself, and speaks his\r\nown things, for he seeks to please\r\nhimself. He glorifies himself, for\r\nhe is full of arrogance. He is\r\nlying, fraudulent, soothing, flattering,\r\ntreacherous, rhapsodical,\r\ntrifling, inharmonious, verbose,\r\nsordid, and timorous. From his\r\npower Jesus Christ will deliver\r\nyou, who has founded you upon\r\nthe rock, as being chosen stones,\r\nwell fitted for the divine edifice of\r\nthe Father, and who are raised\r\nup on high by Christ, who was\r\ncrucified for you, making use of\r\nthe Holy Spirit as a rope, and\r\nbeing borne up by faith, while\r\nexalted by love from earth to\r\nheaven, walking in company with\r\nthose that are undefiled. For,\r\nsays [the Scripture], “Blessed\r\nare the undefiled in the way, who\r\nwalk in the law of the Lord.”<a id=\"r806\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f806\"><sup>[806]</sup></a>\r\nNow the way is unerring, namely,\r\nJesus Christ. For, says He, “I\r\nam the way and the life”<a id=\"r807\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f807\"><sup>[807]</sup></a> And\r\nthis way leads to the Father.
