    Hello Alex

    Ecclesiasticus 4:23 from the greek text of the Septaguint. The title of the Book in the Septuagint is "Wisdom of Sirach"

    "Me koleses (Do not object/hinder) logon(word or speech) en emera (in the day) soterias(of salvation).

    Since you are obviously of italian origin and probably a Catholic what is the text in Italian or Latin?

    It brings me GODly fear

    As we see the numbers of precious people falling into more poverty than we ourselves are increasing in number all around in cities & countries, it's powerful to think GOD does not overlook a single poor person nor does he overlook our actions towards them. Matthew 25:31-46

    The Spirit of wisdom is the Holy Spirit .

    Who was in the beginning and mentioned in Genesis chapter 1.

    It is of no profit to anyone to take one verse and build a mountain upon it .

    For if you try and reason all of scripture by the one verse you will fall into error .

    But rather we are to see one verse in the light of all the scriptures .

    The devil tempted eve by giving only half truth ,land adding to the Word of God;"not" and thus changed the truth into a lie .

    " thou shalt not surely die"

    The devil tempting Jesus in the wilderness took also the scriptures and left stuff out or out of context .Thus the devil uses the scriptures to tempt the people of God .

    Which is why God in his infinite wisdom has given not on,y the body of truth ,the scriptures but also the Spirit of truth to " lead us into all truth ".

    The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of wisdom ,the Spirit of truth . The Spirit of Christ , The fear of God , and three other. "The seven spirits of God " Not that God has seven Spirits . But even as the 7 branched oil lamp in the tabernacle was made of one piece of gold and having seven branches it was nevertheless one .

    When he Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost , " IT" meaning one , fell on them all as separate flames as of tongues.

    Not that the Holy Spirit is an ' it' or impersonal something or other . For all of scripture teaches that He is a Person and one of The Trinity of God three or persons but ONE God .

    We do not need additions to the Holy Bible nor indeed do we need others who have added ,subtracted and mistranslated .

    For the scriptures teach " The Word of God is the seed "

    A seed has this characteristic . It is not the tree or the fruit . But it does have everything that is needed and nothing that is not needed to reproduce the fruit .

    You can indeed mix a horse with a donkey and you will get a mule . But a mule cannot reproduce itself .

    You can indeed mix truth with error and you will get something . But it too will produce not

    I need to know if and why this spirt of wisdom is the mother of creation as well. They completely took her out the bible. If she has a name. why isn't in the new apocrypha that came out.
