Mnemonic Singing: 

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;
oh what a foretaste of glory divine;
heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

By "Spirit" we mean the Holy Spirit. Remember, in Greek there are no silent consonants, so the pi is pronounced; unlike in English where, for example, the "p" is not pronounced in the word, "pneumatic."
