獲得智慧多麼好，勝過得金子；獲得悟性，勝過得精選的銀子。

我的果實好過金子，勝過純金；我的收成勝過精選的銀子。

一個人就是賺得了全世界，卻賠上了自己的生命，到底有什麼益處呢？人還能拿什麼來換回自己的生命呢？

我以你的法度為繼業直到永遠，因為它們是我心裡的歡樂。

你們要接受我的管教，而不要接受銀子；要接受知識，勝過精選的金子；因為智慧比紅寶石更美好，人所喜悅的一切都無法與她相比。

你口中的律法對我有益，勝過千萬金銀。

尋求她如同尋求銀子，搜尋她如同搜尋寶藏；

我因你的言語而歡喜，如同得了大量戰利品的人。

不但如此，我甚至把一切都看做是損失，因為我把認識我主基督耶穌看為是至高無上的。我為基督耶穌損失了一切，而且把一切都看做是糞土，為要贏得基督，並且要被認定在他裡面——不是擁有那本於律法的自己的義，而是擁有那藉著信基督而來的義，就是來自神、基於信的義；

我建議你向我買被火煉過的金子，使你富足；又買白衣穿上，使你赤身的羞恥不露出來；又買眼藥抹你的眼睛，使你能看見。
