Wisdom 2:22-24
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
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;
23 for God created us for incorruption,
and made us in the image of his own eternity,[a]
24 but through the devil’s envy death entered the world,
and those who belong to his company experience it.
