Gifts of the Holy Spirit

[emom]

Where in the Bible does it support the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit?

Knowledge, understanding, counsel, fortitude, piety, fear of the Lord, and wisdom.

The closest thing I can see is in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.

I am trying to explain this to a Bible Christian.

Isaiah 11:1

1] There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch shall grow out of his roots.
2] And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.

Although it’s only 6. I’m not sure where Piety comes from.

According to the footnotes in the NAB for this section of Isaiah, the Septuagint (the ancient Greek version) and the Vulgate (Jereme’s Latin version) read “piety” for fear of the LORD in its first occurence, thus listing seven gifts. Isaiah 11:1-3 would thus read:

[1] There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch shall grow out of his roots.
[2] And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and of piety.
[3] and his delight shall be the fear of the LORD…

The DRV renders it like so:

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise up out of his root. 2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom, and of understanding, the spirit of counsel, and of fortitude, the spirit of knowledge, and of godliness. 3 And he shall be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord.

That makes more sense.
