Genesis 2:7
Douay-Rheims
And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
John of Damascus
From the earth he formed his body and by his own inbreathing gave him a rational and understanding soul, which we say is the divine image.… The body and the soul were formed at the same time—not one before and the other afterward, as the ravings of Origen would have it.
