His mouth is most sweet. Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for the business of building up, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, even the Father, through Him.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Jehovah has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give your grain as food for your enemies; and the children of foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored.

But those who gathered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and those who brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.

Jehovah of Hosts shall defend them. And they shall devour and subdue with slingstones. And they shall drink and roar, as with wine. And they shall be full like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.

For how great is its goodness, and how great its beauty. Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

And he brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, believing in God with all his household.

Shulamite: I sleep, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my beloved! He knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is covered with dew, my locks with the drops of the night.

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you sorrow not as others who have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

And I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me, Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow with them.
