Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 8:7

καὶ εἰ δικαιοσύνην ἀγαπᾷ τις, οἱ πόνοι ταύτης εἰσὶν ἀρεταί· σωφροσύνην γὰρ καὶ φρόνησιν ἐκδιδάσκει, δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἀνδρείαν, ὧν χρησιμώτερον οὐδέν ἐστιν ἐν βίῳ ἀνθρώποις.
King James Version (KJV)

And 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.

Modern English

If someone loves righteousness, wisdom's labors produce the virtues, for she teaches self-control and prudence, justice and courage; nothing in life is more valuable than these.
