Wisdom of Solomon 15:1-6 -
The true god gives immortality.
Wis.15.1-6
15
1
But you, our God, are kind and true,
patient, and ruling all things in mercy.
15
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.
15
3
For to know you is complete righteousness,
and to know your power is the root of immortality.
15
4
For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us,
nor the fruitless toil of painters,
a figure stained with varied colours,
15
5
whose appearance arouses yearning in fools,
so that they desire the lifeless form of a dead image.
15
6
Lovers of evil things and fit for such objects of hope are those who either make or desire or worship them.
