Wisdom 15:3LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 3 of 19
"For to know thee is perfect justice: and to know thy justice, and thy power, is the root of immortality."
In context
1But thou, our God, art gracious and true, patient, and ordering all things in mercy.
2For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy greatness: and if we sin not, we know that we are counted with thee.
3For to know thee is perfect justice: and to know thy justice, and thy power, is the root of immortality.
4For the invention of mischievous men hath not deceived us, nor the shadow of a picture, a fruitless labour, a graven figure with divers colours,
5The sight whereof enticeth the fool to lust after it, and he loveth the lifeless figure of a dead image.
