Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 7:10

ὑπὲρ ὑγίειαν καὶ εὐμορφίαν ἠγάπησα αὐτὴν καὶ προειλόμην αὐτὴν ἀντὶ φωτὸς ἔχειν, ὅτι ἀκοίμητον τὸ ἐκ ταύτης φέγγος.
King James Version (KJV)

I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh from her never goeth out.

Modern English

I loved her more than health and beauty, and chose her over light itself, since the brightness that comes from her never fades.
