This document contains summaries of two passages from the Bible. The first is a summary of Luke 21:12-19 in which Jesus warns his disciples that they will face persecution for preaching in his name, including being brought before kings and governors. He tells them not to worry about their defense because he will give them the words to say. The second is a high-level overview of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. It provides brief descriptions of each gift.

1. Gospel: Luke 21: 12-19

2. “They will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to
the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led
before kings and governors because of my name. It will lead to
your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your
defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in
speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or
refute. You will even be handed over by parents, brothers,
relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on
your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will
secure your lives.”
