Scripture index¶
The passages this casebook actually turns on, with the pages that discuss them. It is not a concordance: a verse appears because an argument leans on it, not because it mentions the Spirit.

Two cautions¶
A link points to a page, not a paragraph: the page may make several moves with the verse, and the index does not endorse them all. And the index lists texts the two sides contest. Verses both sides read alike — the Great Commission's authority, the fruit of the Spirit — appear because they set the terms, not because they settle the question.
The block that carries the most weight is 1 Corinthians 12-14, which is why it has the most entries. If you read one page from this index, read 1 Corinthians 13:8-12.
