1
By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3
The watchmen that go about the city found me: [to whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4
[It was] but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
5
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.
6
Who [is] this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
7
Behold his bed, which [is] Solomon's threescore valiant men [are] about it, of the valiant of Israel.
8
They all hold swords, [being] expert in war: every man [hath] his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
9
King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
10
He made the pillars thereof [of] silver, the bottom thereof [of] gold, the covering of it [of] purple, the midst thereof being paved [with] love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
11
Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
Song of Solomon 4
1
Behold, thou [art] fair, my love behold, thou [art] fair thou [hast] doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair [is] as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
2
Thy teeth [are] like a flock [of sheep that are even] shorn, which came up from the washing whereof every one bear twins, and none [is] barren among them.
3
Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
4
Thy neck [is] like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
5
Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7
Thou [art] all fair, my love [there is] no spot in thee.
8
Come with me from Lebanon, [my] spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10
How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
11
Thy lips, O [my] spouse, drop [as] the honeycomb: honey and milk [are] under thy tongue and the smell of thy garments [is] like the smell of Lebanon.
12
A garden inclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13
Thy plants [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits camphire, with spikenard,
14
Spikenard and saffron calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15
A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16
Awake, O north wind and come, thou south blow upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
Song of Solomon 5
1
I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2
I sleep, but my heart waketh: [it is] the voice of my beloved that knocketh, [saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, [and] my locks with the drops of the night.
3
I have put off my coat how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet how shall I defile them?
4
My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door], and my bowels were moved for him.
5
I rose up to open to my beloved and my hands dropped [with] myrrh, and my fingers [with] sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6
I opened to my beloved but my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7
The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am] sick of love.
9
What [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? what [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
10
My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
11
His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven.
12
His eyes [are] as [the eyes] of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, [and] fitly set.
13
His cheeks [are] as a bed of spices, [as] sweet flowers: his lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14
His hands [are as] gold rings set with the beryl: his belly [is as] bright ivory overlaid [with] sapphires.
15
His legs [are as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16
His mouth [is] most sweet: yea, he [is] altogether lovely. This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Philippians 2
19->
19
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
22
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
27
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness and hold such in reputation:
30
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
Philippians 3
1-11
1
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] safe.
2
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, [of] the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews as touching the law, a Pharisee
6
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8
Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ,
9
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death
11
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
