Song
of Solomon 5, 6
Son
5:1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered
my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I
have drunk my wine with my milk. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes,
drink abundantly, beloved. Beloved
Son
5:2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my
beloved who knocks: "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my
undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the
dampness of the night."
Son
5:3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have
washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
Son
5:4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My
heart pounded for him.
Son
5:5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
Son
5:6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left; and had gone away.
My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn't find
him. I called him, but he didn't answer.
Son
5:7 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They
bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
Son
5:8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved,
that you tell him that I am faint with love. Friends
Son
5:9 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
Son
5:10 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
Son
5:11 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a
raven.
Son
5:12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with
milk, mounted like jewels.
Son
5:13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes.
His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
Son
5:14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is
like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
Son
5:15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine
gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
Son
5:16 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is
my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem. Friends
Son
6:1 Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has
your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you? Beloved
Son
6:2 My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices,
to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Son
6:3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine. He browses among the
lilies,
Son
6:4 You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem,
awesome as an army with banners.
Son
6:5 Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your
hair is like a flock of goats, that lie along the side of Gilead.
Son
6:6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the
washing; of which every one has twins; none is bereaved among them.
Son
6:7 Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
Son
6:8 There are sixty queens, eighty concubines, and virgins without
number.
Son
6:9 My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother's only
daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her. The daughters
saw her, and called her blessed; the queens and the concubines, and
they praised her.
Son
6:10 Who is she who looks forth as the morning, beautiful as the
moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?
Son
6:11 I went down into the nut tree grove, to see the green plants of
the valley, to see whether the vine budded, and the pomegranates were
in flower.
Son
6:12 Without realizing it, my desire set me with my royal people's
chariots. Friends
Son
6:13 Return, return, Shulammite! Return, return, that we may gaze at
you. Lover Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite, as at the
dance of Mahanaim?

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black

for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-

at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what

1 Thessalonians 2
1Th 2:1 For you
yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn't in vain,
1Th 2:2 but having
suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at
Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in
much conflict.
1Th 2:3 For our
exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
1Th 2:4 But even as we
have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we
speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
1Th 2:5 For neither
were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a
cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
1Th 2:6 nor seeking
glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might
have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
1Th 2:7 But we were
gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
1Th 2:8 Even so,
affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to
you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because
you had become very dear to us.
1Th 2:9 For you
remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day,
that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News
of God.
1Th 2:10 You are
witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved
ourselves toward you who believe.
1Th 2:11 As you know,
we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father
does his own children,
1Th 2:12 to the end
that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own
Kingdom and glory.
1Th 2:13 For this cause
we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us
the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of
men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you
who believe.
1Th 2:14 For you,
brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in
Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from
your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;
1Th 2:15 who killed
both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and
didn't please God, and are contrary to all men;
1Th 2:16 forbidding us
to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their
sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
1Th 2:17 But we,
brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not
in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
1Th 2:18 because we
wanted to come to you--indeed, I, Paul, once and again--but Satan
hindered us.
1Th 2:19 For what is
our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it even you, before
our Lord Jesus at his coming?
1Th 2:20 For you are
our glory and our joy.
