Wisdom's Embrace

Περιχαράκωσον αὐτήν καὶ ὑψώσει σε τίμησον αὐτήν ἵνα σε περιλάβῃ Τιμὴ σοφίας, ἡ τήρησις τῶν ἐντολῶν· σοφία δὲ ὁ Χριστὸς, οὕ νύμφη ἡ διὰ τῶν ἀρετῶν τιμῶσα αὐτὸν ψυχὴ, ἥτις ὑπ' αὐτοῦ περιληφθήσεται. Δίδυμος Αλεξανδρεύς, Εἰς Παροιμιας Source: Migne PG 39.1627b

Seize wisdom and she shall exalt you, she shall glorify you that she embrace you ... 1 The glory of wisdom is the observance of the commandments, but the wisdom that is Christ glorifies the soul with the virtues which shall then be embraced by Him. Didymus the Blind, On Proverbs, fragment 1 Prov 4.8
