Romans 10:8–15 (ESV) 
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth 
and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and 
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will 
be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and 
with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture 
says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the 
same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on 
him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be 
saved.” 14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not 
believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have 
never heard? And how are they to hear without someone 
preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? 
As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach 
the good news!”
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be 
saved.”……….., “How beautiful are the feet of those who 
preach the good news!” 
Joel 2:32 (ESV) 
32 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the 
name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in 
Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has 
said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord 
calls. 
Isaiah 52:7–8 (ESV) 
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who 
brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news 
of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your 
God reigns.” 8 The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their 
voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the 
return of the Lord to Zion.
1 Thessalonians 3:13 (ESV) 
13 so that he may establish your hearts 
blameless in holiness before our God and 
Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with 
all his saints. 
Zechariah 14:5 (ESV) 
5 And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for 
the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you 
shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of 
Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, 
and all the holy ones with him.

1 Corinthians 3:16 (ESV) 
16 Do you not know that you are God’s 
temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? 
1 Corinthians 6:19 (ESV) 
19 Or do you not know that your body is a 
temple of the Holy Spirit within you, 
whom you have from God? You are not 
your own,
2 Corinthians 6:16–17 (ESV) 
16 What agreement has the 
temple of God with idols? For 
we are the temple of the living 
God; as God said, 
“I will make my dwelling 
among them and walk 
among them, 
and I will be their God, 
and they shall be my 
people. 
Leviticus 26:11–12 (ESV) 
11 I will make my dwelling among you, and my soul shall 
not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you and will be 
your God, and you shall be my people. 
Ezekiel 37:26–27 (ESV) 
26 I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be 
an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in 
their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in 
their midst forevermore. 27 My dwelling place shall be 
with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my 
people. 
17 Therefore go out from their 
midst, and be separate from 
them, says the Lord, and 
touch no unclean thing; then 
I will welcome you, 
Isaiah 52:11 (ESV) 
11 Depart, depart, go out from there; 
touch no unclean thing; 
go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves, 
you who bear the vessels of the Lord. 
Ezekiel 11:17 (ESV) 
17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from the 
peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been 
scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’ LXX: Welcome you

countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and an 
outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out. LXX: Welcome you

2 Corinthians 1:21–22 (ESV with GK) 
21 And it is God who establishes us with you in 
Christ, and has anointed us, 22 and who has also 
put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our 
hearts as an arrabon. 
A loan word from the Semitic, Heb. צֵרָבוֹן . Gn. 38:17 ff. (LXX, 
ἀρραβών), Lat. arrha or arrhabo (B Gn. 38:17 ff.). The word is a 
commercial term (Isaeus 8:23: Aristot. Pol., I, 11, p. 1259a, 12; 
esp. pap.). It signifies a “pledge” which is later returned (only 
Gn. 38:17–20); a “deposit” which pays part of the total debt and 
gives a legal claim (BGU, 947, 6; Ostraka, II, 1168); “earnest-money” 
ratifying a compact (P. Oxy., 299, 2 f.; BGU, 446, 5). It 
always implies an act which engages to something bigger. It 
occurs figur. in Antiph. Fr., 123, 6 (CAF, II, 60): ἔχοντες 
ἀρραβῶνα τὴν τὲχνην τοῦ ζῆν; Menand. Fr., 697 (ibid., III, 200): 
τοῦ δυστυχεῖν … ἀρραβῶνʼ ἔχειν. TDNT
Ephesians 1:11–14 (ESV) 
11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having 
been predestined according to the purpose of him 
who works all things according to the counsel of 
his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in 
Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him 
you also, when you heard the word of truth, the 
gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were 
sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the 
guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire 
possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Romans 8:14–30 (ESV) 
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did 
not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received 
the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit 
himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if 
children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we 
suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. 18 For I 
consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with 
the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager 
longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was 
subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in 
hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption 
and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know 
that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth 
until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the 
firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, 
the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope 
that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope 
for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
“The Spirit is the evidence that the 
eschatological promises of Paul’s 
Jewish heritage have been fulfilled. At 
the same time, the Spirit as God’s 
empowering presence enables the 
people of God not simply to endure 
the present as they await the final 
consummation, but to do so with 
verve (with “spirit,” if you will). And 
that is because the future is as sure as 
the presence of the Spirit is an 
experienced reality; hence the 
significance of the dynamic and 
experiential nature of the Spirit’s 
coming into the life of the believer and 
the church.”
