⁷ I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

⁵ I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, let not love be moved till it is ready.

⁴ I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

⁵ I am dark, but fair of form, O daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

⁸ I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you see my loved one, what will you say to him? That I am overcome with love.

⁹ What is your loved one more than another, O fairest among women? What is your loved one more than another, that you say this to us?

¹⁹ As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love.

⁹ My loved one is like a roe; see, he is on the other side of our wall, he is looking in at the windows, letting himself be seen through the spaces.

¹⁶ His mouth is most sweet; yes, he is all beautiful. This is my loved one, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

²² Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

²⁴ And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.

²⁵ Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

²⁶ So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

²⁷ And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

²⁸ Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

²⁹ For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

³⁰ Because we are parts of his body.

³¹ For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

³² This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.

³³ But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.
