Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24

1:13. For God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.
Quoniam Deus mortem non fecit nec laetatur in perditione vivorum

1:14. For he created all things that they might be: and he made the nations of the earth for health: and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth.
Creavit enim ut essent omnia et sanabiles nationes orbis terrarum et non est in illis medicamentum exterminii nec inferorum regnum in terra

1:15. For justice is perpetual and immortal.
Iustitia enim inmortalis est

2:23. For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him.
Quoniam Deus creavit hominem inexterminabilem et ad imaginem suae similitudinis fecit illum

2:24. But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world:
Invidia autem diaboli mors introivit in orbem terrarum
