If He should set His heart on it, if He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,

all flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust.

You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

then the dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.

Leave off from such a man, whose breath is in his nostril; for how is he to be accounted?

And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit. Having said this, He breathed out the spirit.

And they stoned Stephen as he was invoking and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

And he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, Lord, do not charge them with this sin. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Is faith able to save him?

Thus also faith, if it does not have works, being alone, is dead.

But are you willing to understand, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
