Literal Version 

2:21 The wicked misunderstand God’s purposes


21 Thus they reasoned, and they were led astray;

for their wickedness blinded them,

22 and they didn’t know the mysteries of God,

neither did they hope for wages of holiness,

nor did they discern that there’s a prize for blameless souls.

23 Because God created man for incorruption,

and made him an image of his own everlastingness;

24 but death entered into the world by the envy of the devil,

and those who belong to him experience it.
