"The Spiritof Godhas mademe, And the breathof the Almightygivesme life.
Then the LORDGodformedmanof dustfrom the ground,and breathedinto his nostrilsthe breathof life;and manbecamea livingbeing.
You have grantedme lifeand lovingkindness;And Your carehas preservedmy spirit.
Is it rightfor You indeedto oppress,To rejectthe laborof Your hands,And to lookfavorablyon the schemesof the wicked?
In whosehandis the lifeof everylivingthing,And the breathof allmankind?
For as longas lifeis in me, And the breathof Godis in my nostrils,
"But it is a spiritin man,And the breathof the Almightygivesthem understanding.
You sendforth Your Spirit,they are created;And You renewthe faceof the ground.
By the wordof the LORDthe heavenswere made,And by the breathof His mouthalltheir host.
ThussaysGodthe LORD,Who createdthe heavensand stretchedthem out, Who spreadout the earthand its offspring,Who givesbreathto the peopleon it And spiritto those who walkin it,
For the lawof the Spiritof lifein ChristJesushas set you freefrom the lawof sinand of death.
Soalsoit is written,"The firstMAN,Adam,BECAMEA LIVINGSOUL."The lastAdam[became] a life-givingspirit.
