⁷ I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, or by the hinds of the field, That you not stir up, nor awaken love, Until it so desires.

⁵ I am dark, but lovely, You daughters of Jerusalem, Like Kedar's tents, Like Solomon's curtains.

⁸ I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him that I am faint with love. Friends

⁹ How is your beloved better than another beloved, You fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, That you do so adjure us? Beloved

¹⁹ A loving doe and a graceful deer-- Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.

⁹ My beloved is like a roe or a young hart. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.

¹⁶ His mouth is sweetness; Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, Daughters of Jerusalem. Friends

⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."

²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

²⁴ But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

²⁷ that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²⁸ Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

³⁰ because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

³¹ "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."

³² This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

³³ Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
