Genesis 30:1-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
30 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she envied her sister. “Give me sons, or I will die!”(A) she said to Jacob.
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld children[a] from you?”
3 Then she said, “Here is my slave Bilhah. Go sleep with her, and she’ll bear children for me[b](B) so that through her I too can build a family.” 4 So Rachel gave her slave Bilhah to Jacob as a wife, and he slept with her. 5 Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 6 Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; yes, He has heard me and given me a son,” and she named him Dan.[c]

Holman Christian Standard Bible
God’s Promise of His Spirit
28 [a] After this(A)
I will pour out My Spirit(B) on all humanity;(C)
then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your old men will have dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
29 I will even pour out My Spirit
on the male and female slaves in those days.(D)
30 I will display wonders
in the heavens and on the earth:(E)
blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(F)
before the great and awe-inspiring Day of the Lord comes.(G)
32 Then everyone who calls
on the name of Yahweh will be saved,(H)
for there will be an escape
for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
as the Lord promised,(I)
among the survivors the Lord calls.

Galatians 1:1-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Greeting
1 Paul,(A) an apostle—not from men or by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father(B) who raised Him from the dead(C)— 2 and all the brothers who are with me:
To the churches of Galatia.[a](D)
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord[b] Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself for our sins(E) to rescue us from this present evil age,(F) according to the will of our God and Father.(G) 5 To whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
No Other Gospel
6 I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from Him who called(H) you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another gospel,(I) but there are some(J) who are troubling you and want to change the good news[c] about the Messiah.
