⁵ Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.

⁴⁶ And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.

⁵⁹ And Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit.

⁴ He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.

¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.
