Wisdom of Solomon 2:22-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 and they did not know the secret purposes of God,
nor hoped for the wages of holiness,
nor discerned the prize for blameless souls,(A)
23 for God created us for incorruption
and made us in the image of his own eternity,[a](B)
24 but through an adversary’s[b] envy death entered the world,
and those who belong to his company experience it.(C)
