Genesis 2:7

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
