SERVICES & SERMONS
for the BIBLE tells me so
Does the phrase "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" come from the Bible? Not strictly in this wording. The above comes from the Book of Common Prayer and is often used by the Anglican Church during burial services.
The actual Bible verse comes from Genesis (3:19), when God rebukes Adam and Eve for breaking God's Commandment about eating from the Tree of Knowledge.
God said to the two sinners: "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." (NIV)
