Wisdom of Solomon 2:21-24
-
21 Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath blinded them.
-
22 As for the mysteries of God, they kn ew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.
-
23 For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.
-
24 Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.
