"As the Spirit gives utterance," emphasizes that the ability is from the Holy Spirit.

• A. angels
• B. Holy Spirit
• C. church
• D. humanity

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that spiritual utterance—the ability to speak under divine inspiration—is given by God's Spirit. That’s why the Holy Spirit is the best answer: the phrase “as the Spirit gives utterance” attributes the power to speak to God’s own empowering presence, not to human effort, angels, or the church as an institution.

Angels are spiritual beings who reveal messages, but they aren’t the source of the believer’s divine utterance. The church gathers and disciplines, but it doesn’t supply the literal empowering for spoken gifts. Humanity, left to itself, cannot produce inspired utterance; it requires the Spirit’s enablement. So the Holy Spirit is the appropriate source of that ability.
