Prov:20:27:

The spirit of man is the living part of man
James said the body without the spirit is dead
Jesus freed all men from sin from Adam to the last man to be born on earth 1rst. Cor; 15.22
The spirit of man goes back to the father who gave it At the return of christ the spirit will be
given a new immortal body Ever to be with the LORD
