「因為智慧比寶石更美，一切可喜愛的都不足與其比較。

因为智慧比珍珠更美；一切可喜爱的都不足与比较。

蓋智慧愈於珍珠、凡可慕者、無足比擬、

斯智也、貴於琅玕、凡爾所欲、不得與之比儗。

智慧較珍珠尤美、一切可慕者、不足與之比擬、

for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Wisdom is worth more than rubies. Nothing you want can compare with her.

for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.

For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it.

得智慧勝過得金子，選聰明強如選銀子。

比金子可羨慕，比極多的純金可羨慕；比蜜甘甜，比蜂房下滴的蜜甘甜。

因為智慧的獲利勝過銀子，所得的盈餘強如金子，比寶石更寶貴，你一切所喜愛的，都不足與其比較。

智慧不可用黃金換取，也不能用白銀秤她的價值。俄斐的金子和貴重的紅瑪瑙，以及藍寶石，不足與她比擬；黃金和玻璃不足與她比較；純金的器皿不足兌換她。珊瑚、水晶都不值得提；智慧的價值勝過寶石。古實的紅璧璽不足與她比較；純金也不足與她比擬。

不但如此，我已把萬事當作是有損的，因我以認識我主基督耶穌為至寶。我為他已經丟棄萬事，看作糞土，為要贏得基督，並且得以在他裏面，不是有自己因律法而得的義，而是有信基督的義，就是基於信，從神而來的義，

有金子和許多寶石，惟知識的嘴唇是貴重的珍寶。

要獲得智慧，要獲得聰明，不可忘記，也不可偏離我口中的言語。不可離棄智慧，智慧就庇護你，要愛她，她就保護你。智慧為首，所以要獲得智慧，要用你一切所有的換取聰明。

所以，我喜愛你的命令勝於金子，更勝於純金。

人若賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有甚麼益處呢？人還能拿甚麼換生命呢？
