The Acts of the Apostles by the Holy Spirit
The Book of Acts as we all call it in the simplicity of our conversation; or just Acts, as we preface referencing some chapter and verse; has been titled as both "The Acts of the Apostles" and "The Acts of the Holy Spirit" in different publications. Of course, the pragmatist wants everyone to know this is a history about how the Gospel was further spread by those disciples, now called apostles, following the vicarious death and glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. While those incipiently spiritual, obviously want to give the ascendancy to the Holy Spirit, without whom none of these Acts might have been done. Only I see no reason for not expanding this nomenclature to logically cover and integrate both necessaries. So I have entitled this study, as being collaterally "The Acts of The Apostles by The Holy Spirit."

Proverbs 5
Proverbs 5
1My son, attend unto my wisdom,
and bow your ear to my understanding:
2That you may regard discretion,
and that your lips may keep knowledge.
3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb,
and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4But her end is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two-edged sword.
5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways
are moveable, that you can not know them.
7Hear me now therefore, O you children,
and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8Remove thy way far from her, and
come not nigh the door of her house:
9Lest you give your honour unto others,
and your years unto the cruel:
10Lest strangers be filled with your wealth;
and your labours be in the house of a stranger;
11And you mourn at the last, when your flesh
and your body are consumed,
12And say, How have I hated instruction,
and my heart despised reproof;
13And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14I was almost in all evil in the midst
of the congregation and assembly.
15Drink waters out of your own cistern,
and running waters out of your own well.
16Let your fountains be dispersed abroad,
and rivers of waters in the streets.
17Let them be only your own,
and not strangers’ with you.
18Let you fountain be blessed: and
rejoice with the wife of your youth.
19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe;
let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
and be you ravished always with her love.
20And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman,
and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD,
and he ponders all his goings.
22His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,
and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
23He shall die without instruction;
and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
1My son, attend unto my wisdom,
and bow your ear to my understanding:
2That you may regard discretion,
and that your lips may keep knowledge.
3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb,
and her mouth is smoother than oil:

5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways
are moveable, that you can not know them.
7Hear me now therefore, O you children,
and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8Remove thy way far from her, and
come not nigh the door of her house:
9Lest you give your honour unto others,
and your years unto the cruel:
10Lest strangers be filled with your wealth;
and your labours be in the house of a stranger;
11And you mourn at the last, when your flesh
