Wisdom of Solomon 6:18

Deuterocanon

16 because she goes about seeking those worthy of her, and she graciously appears to them in their paths, and meets them in every thought. 17 The beginning of wisdom is the most sincere desire for instruction, and concern for instruction is love of her, 18 and love of her is the keeping of her laws, and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality, 19 and immortality brings one near to God; 20 so the desire for wisdom leads to a kingdom.

Psalms of Solomon 9:5

Pseudepigrapha

3 For none that do evil can be hidden from your knowledge. Lord, you know of the righteous deeds of your devout; where will a person hide from your knowledge, O God? 4 We are free to choose and do what we will to do right or wrong in how we live our lives; in your justice you watch mortals closely. 5 Those who do what is right save up life for themselves with the Lord, and those doing what is wrong cause their own lives to be destroyed; for the Lord's righteous judgments come down on man and household. 6 To whom will you be kind, O God, except to those who appeal to the Lord? He will cleanse from sin the person who both confesses and publically acknowledges it. For all of these things we are ashamed, and we are embarrassed.

"... There is, then, no single Jewish soteriology discernible apart from generalized hopes for God's granting something like peace, justice, and life to someone for some reason or another. Consequently, it is impossible to compress all narrations of the basis, agency, and scope of salvation in Judaism into a single soteric descriptor like covenantal nomism because the emphasis could fall upon either the "covenant" or the "nomism, depending on the peculiar dynamics of a given writing (and many writings themselves defy consistency in terms of their pattern of divine action and prescribed human response),26 To justify this claim, one does not have to look far for contrary statements that declare that performance of righteous deeds are the basis of a person's standing before God or the condition of entering into the future age (e.g., Wisdom of Solomon 5:15; 6:18; Psalms of Solmon 9:3-5; 1QS 3-4; 4 Ezra 7:77: 8.33, 36; 2 Baruch 14:12; 51:7) ..."
