John 7:37-39

37 Now on 1the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "2If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
38 "He who believes in Me, 3as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of 4living water.' "
39 But this He spoke 5of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for 6the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet 7glorified.
