Meaning

He reproves, helps, glorifies, intercedes (John 1:16-13; Rom 8:26). (2) He executes the offices peculiar only to a person.

Heb 3:7-11); and (2) that divine attributes are also ascribed to him, omnipresence (Ps 139:7; Eph 2:17, 18; 1Cor 12:13); omniscience (1Cor 2:10, 11); omnipotence (Luke 1:35; Rom 8:11); eternity (Heb 9:4). (3) Creation is ascribed to him (Gen 1:2; Job 26:13; Ps 104:30), and the working of miracles (Matt 12:28; 1Cor 12:9-11).
