But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.

But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.

None of them could stand against the wisdom and the Spirit with which Stephen spoke.

But they were unable to stand up against his wisdom and the Spirit by whom he was speaking.

But they were unable to cope with his wisdom and the Spirit by whom he was speaking.

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

Yet they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

I will give you words of wisdom. None of your enemies will be able to withstand them or prove them wrong.

“ No one ever spoke the way this man does,” the guards replied.

I didn’t preach my message with clever and compelling words. Instead, my preaching showed the Holy Spirit’s power.

“ You will be brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities. But do not worry about how to stand up for yourselves or what to say.The Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”

But when they arrest you, don’t worry about what you will say or how you will say it. At that time you will be given the right words to say.It will not be you speaking. The Spirit of your Father will be speaking through you.

And he will prepare the way for the Lord. He will have the same spirit and power that Elijah had. He will bring peace between parents and their children. He will teach people who don’t obey to be wise and do what is right. In this way, he will prepare a people who are ready for the Lord.”

Now go. I will help you speak. I will teach you what to say.”

But the spirit in people gives them understanding. The breath of the Mighty One gives them wisdom.

I’m full of words. My spirit inside me forces me to speak.

Today I have made you like a city that has a high wall around it. I have made you like an iron pillar and a bronze wall. Now you can stand up against the whole land. You can stand against the kings and officials of Judah. You can stand against its priests and its people.They will fight against you. But they will not win the battle over you. I am with you. I will save you,” announces the Lord.

But no weapon used against you will succeed. People might bring charges against you. But you will prove that they are wrong. Those are the things I do for my servants. I make everything right for them,” announces the Lord.

But if their plans come from God, you won’t be able to stop these men. You will only find yourselves fighting against God.”

“ You stubborn people! You won’t obey! You won’t listen! You are just like your people of long ago! You always oppose the Holy Spirit!

But later I will speak to you. I will open your mouth. Then you will tell them,‘ Here is what the Lord and King says.’ Those who listen will listen. And those who refuse to listen will refuse. They always refuse to obey me.

The Spirit of the Lord has filled me with power. He helps me do what is fair. He makes me brave. Now I’m prepared to tell Jacob’s people what they’ve done wrong. I’m ready to tell Israel they’ve sinned.

I will make you like a wall to them. I will make you like a strong bronze wall. The people will fight against you. But they will not overcome you. I am with you. I will save you,” announces the Lord.
