Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
Version
Psalm 33:12-22

12 Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh—
the people He has chosen to be His own possession!(A)

13 The Lord looks down from heaven;
He observes everyone.(B)
14 He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth
from His dwelling place.(C)
15 He alone shapes their hearts;
He considers all their works.(D)
16 A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.(E)
17 The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.(F)

18 Now the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him—
those who depend on His faithful love(G)
19 to deliver them from death
and to keep them alive in famine.(H)

20 We wait for Yahweh;(I)
He is our help and shield.(J)
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him(K)
because we trust in His holy name.(L)
22 May Your faithful love rest on us, Yahweh,
for we put our hope in You.(M)

Genesis 2:4-7

Man and Woman in the Garden

4 These are the records(A) of the heavens and the earth, concerning their creation at the time[a] that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. 5 No shrub of the field(B) had yet grown on the land,[b] and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not made it rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground. 6 But water would come out of the ground and water the entire surface of the land. 7 Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground(C) and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils,(D) and the man became a living being.(E)

1 Corinthians 15:42-49

42 So it is with the resurrection of the dead:

Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption;(A)
43 sown in dishonor,(B) raised in glory;(C)
sown in weakness, raised in power;(D)
44 sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being;(E)[a] the last Adam(F) became a life-giving Spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.

47 The first man was from the earth
and made of dust;(G)
the second man is[b] from heaven.
48 Like the man made of dust,
so are those who are made of dust;
like the heavenly man,
so are those who are heavenly.(H)
49 And just as we have borne
the image(I) of the man made of dust,
we will also bear
the image of the heavenly man.(J)
