The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Ruler of all gives me life.
And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.
You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.
What profit is it to you to be cruel, to give up the work of your hands, looking kindly on the design of evil-doers?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all flesh of man.
For all my breath is still in me, and the spirit of God is my life;
But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.
If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.
God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.
