Genesis 2:7
2:7 The
Lord God formed
the man from the soil of the ground
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,
and the man became a living being.
Job 12:10
12:10 in whose hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all the human race.
Job 34:14-15
34:14 If God were to set his heart on it,
and gather in his spirit and his breath,
34:15 all flesh would perish together
and human beings would return to dust.
Psalms 104:29
104:29 When you ignore them, they panic.
When you take away their life’s breath, they die
and return to dust.
Psalms 146:4
146:4 Their life’s breath departs, they return to the ground;
on that day their plans die.
Isaiah 42:5
42:5 This is what the true God, the Lord, says –
the one who created the sky and stretched it out,
the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it,
the one who gives breath to the people on it,
and life to those who live on it:
Acts 17:25
17:25 nor is he served by human hands, as if he needed anything,
because he himself gives life and breath and everything to everyone.
Acts 17:28-29
17:28 For in him we live and move about
and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we too are his offspring.’
17:29 So since we are God’s offspring, we should not think the deity
is like gold or silver or stone, an image
made by human
skill
and imagination.
