Wisdom 2:22-24
New Catholic Bible
22 They did not discern the hidden plans of God,
or hope for the recompense of holiness
or recognize the reward destined for innocent souls.
23 For God created us to be immortal
and formed us in the image of his own nature.[a]
24 But as a result of the devil’s envy, death entered the world,
and those who follow him experience it.
