To show mercy [as He promised] to our fathers,
And to remember His holy covenant [the promised blessing],

Yet wisdom is vindicated and shown to be right by all her children [by the lifestyle, moral character, and good deeds of her followers].”

Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of earthly wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?

And if you have not been faithful in the use of that [earthly wealth] which belongs to another [whether God or man, and of which you are a trustee], who will give you that which is your own?

By your [patient] endurance [empowered by the Holy Spirit] you will gain your souls.
