James 2:26

²⁰But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

¹⁷Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

¹⁴What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

⁷and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

²⁹You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

¹⁴If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath, ¹⁵all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.

⁵⁹They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” ⁶⁰He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

²²Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

⁴⁶Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

⁴His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
