Wisdom 6:18
Print
Love for instruction expresses itself in careful reflection. If you love Wisdom, you will keep her laws. If you are attentive to her laws, you can be assured that you will live forever.
For the beginning of her is the most true desire of discipline.
to love her is to keep her laws; to keep her laws is to be certain of immortality;
then, care for discipline is love of her; love means the keeping of her laws; To observe her laws is the basis for incorruptibility;
but love for her is shown by keeping her laws, and observing her laws brings the assurance of incorruptibility.
and love of her is the keeping of her laws, and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality,
and love of her is the keeping of her laws, and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality,
and love of her is the keeping of her laws, and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality,
and concern for instruction is love of her, and love of her is the keeping of her laws, and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality,
and love of her is the keeping of her laws, and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality,
and love of her is the keeping of her laws, and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality,
and love is the keeping of (the) laws thereof. Soothly the keeping of laws is (the) perfection of uncorruption; [and loving is keeping of his laws. Keeping forsooth of laws is full ending of uncorruption;]
