Ezekiel 37:5

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.

You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

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

You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.

but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Yahweh, was taken in their pits; of whom we said, under his shadow we will live among the nations.

All the trees of the field will know that I, Yahweh, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish. “ ‘I, Yahweh, have spoken and have done it.’ ”

I won’t hide my face from them any more; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.

The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.

Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

I find then the law that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.

Awake, north wind, and come, you south! Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and taste his precious fruits.

until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.

I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;

Then the nations that are left around you will know that I, Yahweh, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate. I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and I will do it.”

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ”

I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,” says Yahweh.’ ”

It will happen, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. Then there will be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river comes.

A revelation, Yahweh’s word concerning Israel. Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;

For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
