| 15 1 | But you, our God, are kind and true, patient, and ruling all things in mercy. | The true god gives immortality. Wis.15.1-6 | |
| 2 | For even if we sin we are yours, knowing your power; but we will not sin, because we know that we are accounted yours. | ||
| 3 | For to know you is complete righteousness, and to know your power is the root of immortality. | ||
| 4 | For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us, nor the fruitless toil of painters, a figure stained with varied colours, | ||
| 5 | whose appearance arouses yearning in fools, so that they desire the lifeless form of a dead image. | ||
| 6 | Lovers of evil things and fit for such objects of hope are those who either make or desire or worship them. | ||
