司諦文憑其智慧靈感、應對沛然、無能禦之者。

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

But he was too wise for them. That’s because the Holy Spirit gave Stephen wisdom whenever he spoke.

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

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 withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.

But they were unable to stand up against 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 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.

for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!

“ We have never heard anyone speak like this!” the guards responded.

And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.

“ And when you are brought to trial in the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how to defend yourself or what to say,for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what needs to be said.”

When you are arrested, don’t worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time.For it is not you who will be speaking— it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.”

Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”

But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent.

For I am full of pent up words, and the spirit within me urges me on.

For see, today I have made you strong like a fortified city that cannot be captured, like an iron pillar or a bronze wall. You will stand against the whole land— the kings, officials, priests, and people of Judah.They will fight you, but they will fail. For I am with you, and I will take care of you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!

But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God!”

“ You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That’s what your ancestors did, and so do you!

But when I give you a message, I will loosen your tongue and let you speak. Then you will say to them,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says!’ Those who choose to listen will listen, but those who refuse will refuse, for they are rebels.

But as for me, I am filled with power— with the Spirit of the Lord. I am filled with justice and strength to boldly declare Israel’s sin and rebellion.

They will fight against you like an attacking army, but I will make you as secure as a fortified wall of bronze. They will not conquer you, for I am with you to protect and rescue you. I, the Lord, have spoken!
