7Wherefore I wished, and understanding was given me: and I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came upon me:

8And I preferred her before kingdoms and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.

9Neither did I compare unto her any precious stone: for all gold, in comparison of her, is as a little sand; and silver, in respect to her, shall be counted as clay.

10I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out.

15And God hath given to me to speak as I would, and to conceive thoughts worthy of those things that are given me: because he is the guide of wisdom, and the director of the wise:

16For in his hand are both we, and our words, and all wisdom, and the knowledge and skill of works.

9By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.

10With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.

11Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.

12Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.

13With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.

14I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.

8But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master: and all you are brethren.

9And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.

10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, Christ.

11He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.

12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
