Wisdom 15:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 To know you constitutes complete righteousness,
and to know your power constitutes the root of immortality.[a]
4 We have not been led astray by the evil creations of human skill
or by the barren toil of painters,
figures covered over with varied colors,
5 the sight of which arouses in fools
a yearning for the lifeless form of a dead image.
Footnotes
- Wisdom 15:3 Jesus will say: “Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God” (Jn 17:3). This knowledge implies an intimate and personal union made up of knowledge and love.
