From the Apocryphal book of Ecclesiasticus, excerpts of  the 3rd person of the Godhead.

The eklisia means “the called out ones and in newer versions of scripture, eklesia is translated into “church” and eroniously refers to brick buildings with statues and idols, all of which are forbidden in earlier renditions of scripture. Eklisia is also spelled Ecclesia and who the book of “Ecclesiasticus” was written for. So the excerpts quoted below are for the true believers about the hidden third person of the Godhead whose name in the Greek is Sophia and translated here into wisdom because that is what Sophia means. Just as Christ in the New Testament said that “Wisdom is justified by Her children” and her children are the called out one because that is who are the Ecclisiasticus . Is that you? In the Beginning God made man in His image, male and female made He them. She was in the beginning before God ever said “let there be light”. Blessings!

4.11-19  Wisdom exalteth her children, and layeth hold of them that seek her.

12He that loveth her loveth life; and they that seek to her early shall be filled with joy.

13He that holdeth her fast shall inherit glory; and wheresoever she entereth, the Lord will bless.

14They that serve her shall minister to the Holy One: and them that love her the Lord doth love.

15Whoso giveth ear unto her shall judge the nations: and he that attendeth unto her shall dwell securely.

16If a man commit himself unto her, he shall inherit her; and his generation shall hold her in possession.

17For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws.

18Then will she return the straight way unto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets.

19But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin.

6.18-37

My son, gather instruction from thy youth up: so shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age.

19Come unto her as one that ploweth and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: for thou shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right soon.

20She is very unpleasant to the unlearned: he that is without understanding will not remain with her.

21She will lie upon him as a mighty stone of trial; and he will cast her from him ere it be long.

22For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.

23Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel,

24And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chain.

25Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.

26Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her ways with all thy power.

27Search, and seek, and she shall be made known unto thee: and when thou hast got hold of her, let her not go.

28For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.

29Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.

30For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.

31Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shalt put her about thee as a crown of joy.

32My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent.

33If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,

34Stand in the multitude of the elders; and cleave unto him that is wise.

35Be willing to hear every godly discourse; and let not the parables of understanding escape thee.

36And if thou seest a man of understanding, get thee betimes unto him, and let thy foot wear the steps of his door.

37Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord and meditate continually in his commandments: he shall establish thine heart, and give thee wisdom at thine owns desire.

14.20-27

Blessed is the man that doth meditate good things in wisdom, and that reasoneth of holy things by his understanding.

21He that considereth her ways in his heart shall also have understanding in her secrets.

22Go after her as one that traceth, and lie in wait in her ways.

23He that prieth in at her windows shall also hearken at her doors.

24He that doth lodge near her house shall also fasten a pin in her walls.

25He shall pitch his tent nigh unto her, and shall lodge in a lodging where good things are.

26He shall set his children under her shelter, and shall lodge under her branches.

27By her he shall be covered from heat, and in her glory shall he dwell.

6.1

He that feareth the Lord will do good, and he that hath the knowledge of the law shall obtain her.

2And as a mother shall she meet him, and receive him as a wife married of a virgin.

3With the bread of understanding shall she feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink.

4He shall be stayed upon her, and shall not be moved; and shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded.

5She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth.

6He shall find joy and a crown of gladness, and she shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name.

24.1-34

Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people.

2In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power.

3I came out of the mouth of the most High, and covered the earth as a cloud.

4I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar.

5I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in the bottom of the deep.

6In the waves of the sea and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession.

7With all these I sought rest: and in whose inheritance shall I abide?

8So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel.

9He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail.

10In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion.

11Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.

12And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord’s inheritance.

13I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.

14I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.

15I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.

16As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace.

17As the vine brought I forth pleasant savour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.

18I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my children which are named of him.

19Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits.

20For my memorial is sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb.

21They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.

22He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and they that work by me shall not do amiss.

23All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.

24Faint not to be strong in the Lord; that he may confirm you, cleave unto him: for the Lord Almighty is God alone, and beside him there is no other Saviour.

25He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits.

26He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest.

27He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage.

28The first man knew her not perfectly: no more shall the last find her out.

29For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her counsels profounder than the great deep.

30I also came out as a brook from a river, and as a conduit into a garden.

31I said, I will water my best garden, and will water abundantly my garden bed: and, lo, my brook became a river, and my river became a sea.

32I will yet make doctrine to shine as the morning, and will send forth her light afar off.

33I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and leave it to all ages for ever.

34Behold that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all them that seek wisdom.
