Sirach 36:24 Sirach 37:16 Sirach 40:23 2 Timothy 3:17

Correct Answer:

Sirach 36:24

Explanation:

This verse presents marriage as a blessed partnership that brings companionship and support. It says that obtaining a wife begins a possession, yet the emphasis is on the wife being “a help like unto himself” and “a pillar of rest,” highlighting how she supports and stabilizes her husband. In Wisdom literature, such language portrays marriage as a divinely blessed arrangement that provides both practical help and emotional steadiness. The verse is Sirach 36:24, making it the correct reference for this statement. Sirach, also known as Ecclesiasticus, is part of the Wisdom literature and is included in Catholic and Orthodox canons (and appears in the Apocrypha in Protestant versions).
