Ecclesiasticus 19:18 Context
16There is one that slippeth in his speach, but not from his heart, and who is he that hath not offended with his tongue? 17Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him, and not being angry giue place to the Law of the most high. 18The feare of the Lord is the first step to be accepted [of him,] and wisedome obtaineth his loue. 19The knowledge of the Commandements of the Lord, is the doctrine of life, and they that do things that please him, shall receiue the fruit of the tree of immortalitie. 20The feare of the Lord is all wisedome, and in all wisedome is the performance of the Law, and the knowledge of his omnipotencie.
