Song of Solomon 1Song of Solomon 2Philippians 2.1-18Song of Solomon 1
1
The song of songs, which [is] Solomon's.
2
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] better than wine.
3
Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name [is as] ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
4
Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
5
I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6
Look not upon me, because I [am] black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me they made me the keeper of the vineyards [but] mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest [thy flock] to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
8
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9
I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
10
Thy cheeks are comely with rows [of jewels], thy neck with chains [of gold].
11
We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12
While the king [sitteth] at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13
A bundle of myrrh [is] my wellbeloved unto me he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
14
My beloved [is] unto me [as] a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
15
Behold, thou [art] fair, my love behold, thou [art] fair thou [hast] doves' eyes.
16
Behold, thou [art] fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed [is] green.
17
The beams of our house [are] cedar, [and] our rafters of fir.
Song of Solomon 2
1
I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the valleys.
2
As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the daughters.
3
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit [was] sweet to my taste.
4
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me [was] love.
5
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I [am] sick of love.
6
His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
7
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.
8
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
9
My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
10
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over [and] gone
12
The flowers appear on the earth the time of the singing [of birds] is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land
13
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines [with] the tender grape give a [good] smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14
O my dove, [that art] in the clefts of the rock, in the secret [places] of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice for sweet [is] thy voice, and thy countenance [is] comely.
15
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines [have] tender grapes.
16
My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth among the lilies.
17
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
Philippians 2
1-18
1
If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.
3
[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth
11
And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.
14
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world
16
Holding forth the word of life that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
17
Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18
For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
