Wisdom 15:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 For even if we sin, we are yours, and know your might;
but we will not sin, knowing that we belong to you.(A)
3 For to know you well is complete righteousness,
and to know your might is the root of immortality.(B)
4 For the evil creation of human fancy did not deceive us,
nor the fruitless labor of painters,(C)
