‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
