the spirit of man

⁸But I see now that there is only breath in men, and that it is the inspiration of the Almighty that gives understanding.

⁷and the dust returns to its earth, from which it was, and the spirit returns to God, who granted it.

¹⁶For the Spirit himself renders testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God.

²⁷The spirit of a man is a lamp to the Lord, which investigates all the secrets of the inner self.

⁷And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

²⁴God is Spirit. And so, those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

¹The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. The Lord, stretching forth the heavens and founding the earth and forming the spirit of man within him, says:

¹¹And who can know the things that are of a man, except the spirit which is within that man? So also, no one knows the things which are of God, except the Spirit of God.

¹⁷But whoever is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

²³And may the God of peace himself sanctify you through all things, so that your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved without blame unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹²For the Word of God is living and effective: more piercing than any two-edged sword, reaching to the division even between the soul and the spirit, even between the joints and the marrow, and so it discerns the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹⁰But if Christ is within you, then the body is indeed dead, concerning sin, but the spirit truly lives, because of justification.

³⁹See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
