Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Rowland Hill once conversed with a celebrated sculptor, who had been hewing out a block of marble to represent that great patriot, Lord Chatham. "There," said the sculptor, "is not that a fine form?" "Now, sir," said Mr. Hill, "can you put life into it? else, with all its beauty, it is still but a block of marble." God put life into His creation, and man became a living soul. Christ puts new life into dead men. (Bishop Harvey Goodwin.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. |
