“And if riches are sought in life, what is richer than wisdom, which accomplishes all things? Therefore, the wisdom and power of God is the Lord Christ, through whom all things were made, and who, together with the Father, arranges and governs all things by his own will, according to the saying of the Gospel: My Father…”

3In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.
4For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.
— Wisdom of Solomon 8:5 —
6And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?
7And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as men can have nothing more profitable in their life.
