Wisdom 3:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Their offspring is cursed: for happy is the barren: and the undefiled, that hath not known bed in sin: she shall have fruit in the visitation of holy souls.

¹⁴ And the eunuch, that hath not wrought iniquity with his hands, nor thought wicked things against God: for the precious gift of faith shall be given to him, and a most acceptable lot in the temple of God.

¹⁵ For the fruit of good labours is glorious, and the root of wisdom never faileth.
