Wisdom 6:19

19 If you live forever, you will be near to God.

Wisdom 6:19 In-Context

17 The real beginning of wisdom is to desire instruction with all your heart.

18 Love for instruction expresses itself in careful reflection. If you love Wisdom, you will keep her laws. If you are attentive to her laws, you can be assured that you will live forever.

19 If you live forever, you will be near to God.

20 If you desire wisdom with all your heart, you will know what good leadership is.

21 So if you, who take charge over peoples, want to keep enjoying the thrones and symbols of power that you presently possess, honor wisdom so that you may rule forever.
