Is it valid to see Wisdom 15, especially v.11 as the background to Paul's statement in this verse? Obviously he quotes from Genesis 2:7, but his treatment of that verse may have been influenced by Wisdom. If so, how would that affect the interpretation of the passage?

Vanities and disguises have covered us, and thereby we are naked; licenciousness hath inflam'd us, and thereby we are frozen; voluptuousness hath fed us, and thereby we are sterved, the fancies and traditions of men have taught and instructed us, and thereby we are ignorant.

I don't see where Wisdom throws any additional light onto Paul's words. Did you have something specific in mind?
