Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

BrLXX Ὅτι αὐτοσχεδίως ἐγεννήθημεν, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐσόμεθα ὡς οὐχ ὑπάρξαντες, ὅτι καπνὸς ἡ πνοὴ ἐν ῥισὶν ἡμῶν, καὶ ὁ λόγος σπινθὴρ ἐν κινήσει καρδίας ἡμῶν,
(Hoti autosⱪediōs egennaʸthaʸmen, kai meta touto esometha hōs ouⱪ huparxantes, hoti kapnos haʸ pnoaʸ en ɽisin haʸmōn, kai ho logos spinthaʸr en kinaʸsei kardias haʸmōn, )

BrTr For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:

WEBBE Because we were born by mere chance,
⇔ and hereafter we will be as though we had never been,
⇔ because the breath in our nostrils is smoke,
⇔ and reason is a spark kindled by the beating of our heart,

KJB-1611 For wee are borne at all aduenture: & we shalbe heereafter as though we had neuer bene: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a litle sparke in the mouing of our heart.
(For we are born at all aduenture: and we shall be hearafter as though we had never bene: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little sparke in the mouing of our heart.)
