English translation

People depend on one another, and all of us depend on God.

Literal wording

People are through people, and all of them rest upon God.

Meaning and lesson

The saying holds that no one gets through life alone. People get by through one another: each relies on others for help, work, and support, so mutual aid is part of how ordinary life is meant to function, not a sign of weakness.

Its closing clause sets that web of human dependence inside a larger trust in God, who provides for all. It is not only a remark about teamwork: helping one another and relying on God belong together, with neither one replacing the other.

When it is used

Fits moments when someone asks for or gives help, or hesitates to accept it, as a reminder that leaning on others is normal and that God ultimately sustains everyone. It works as gentle encouragement or a modest reply to thanks.
