 Paul wrote a letter to the church at Ephesus, and he warned those members in that church not to allow their sin-nature trends to quench the Holy Spirit's ministry in their lives.

In Ephesians 4, 30 and 31, he said, "...do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption."
