1. AC meaning
(ESV)
I believe that God has made me and all creatures that he has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my members and all my members, my reason and all my senses, and still takes care of them. He also gives me clothing and shoes, food, and drink, house and home, wife and children, land animals, and all I have. He richly and daily provides me with all that I need to support this body and life.\ He defends me against all danger and guards and protects me from all evil. All this He does only out of fatherly, divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me. For all this, it is my duty to thank and praise, serve and obey Him.
