³⁴ A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.

¹⁵ Happy are the people who have knowledge of the holy cry: the light of your face, O Lord, will be shining on their way.

⁵ Through the hope which is in store for you in heaven; knowledge of which was given to you before in the true word of the good news,

⁶ Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

¹⁶ You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

⁴ Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

⁸ Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.

⁷ Like pomegranate fruit are the sides of your head under your veil.

¹³ The produce of the garden is pomegranates; with all the best fruits, henna and spikenard,

³ Your red lips are like a bright thread, and your mouth is fair of form; the sides of your head are like pomegranate fruit under your veil.

³ As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

¹⁰ Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
