“God’s Spirit has made me. The breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the earth and blew the breath of life into his nostrils. The man became a living being.
You gave me life and mercy. Your watchfulness has preserved my spirit.
What do you gain by mistreating me, by rejecting the work of your hands while you favor the plans of the wicked?
The life of every living creature and the spirit in every human body are in his hands.
‘As long as there is one breath ⌞left⌟ in me and God’s breath fills my nostrils,
However, there is in humans a Spirit, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
You send out your Spirit, and they are created. You renew the face of the earth.
The heavens were made by the Lord’s word and all the stars by the breath of his mouth.
The Lord God created the heavens and stretched them out. He shaped the earth and all that comes from it. He gave life to the people who are on it and breath to those who walk on it. This is what the Lord God says:
The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death.
This is what Scripture says: “The first man, Adam, became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
