Bible Verses About the Holy Spirit

29 verses in the King James Version (KJV) and the Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

The Holy Spirit can feel like the most mysterious part of Christian faith, yet the Bible describes him in warm, personal terms: a helper, a comforter, a guide into truth. These verses cover Jesus' promise of the Spirit, the events of Pentecost, the fruit the Spirit grows in a person's life, and the gifts he gives. They show that God doesn't just stand at a distance. He comes close, lives within, and helps us even when we can't find the words.
