What is the difference between the Life that Christ gives and the Life that Wisdom brings?

score:7

The hebrew word for life in Proverbs is chay (חָי) and means life or alive (which doesn't seem to imply anything spiritual).

In 1 John the word used is the greek word zóé (ζωήν) which means: life, both of physical (present) and of spiritual (particularly future) existence.

So in the literal sense the verse 1 John is talking about more than just physical life, true spritual life. True spiritual life wasn't something that was possible prior to Jesus.

In a less literal sense they are both talking about the same thing and that is that true life is only found in God.
