⁷ then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground^[a] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.^(A)

⁴⁵ Thus it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.^(A)

⁷ and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the breath^[a] returns to God who gave it.^(A)

²⁵ nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things.^(A)

⁴⁷ The first man was from the earth, made of dust; the second man is^[a] from heaven.^(A)
