Genesis 2:7

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
All Commentaries on Genesis 2:7 Go To Genesis 2

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430
We ought to understand this passage so that we do not take the words “he breathed into him the breath of life, and man became a living soul” to mean that a part, as it were, of the nature of God was turned into the soul of man…. The nature of God is not mutable, does not err and is not corrupted by the stains of vices and sins…. Scripture clearly says that the soul was made by the almighty God and that it is therefore not a part of God or the nature of God. .
