Son 5:1 I've come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I've gathered my myrrh with my spices. I've eaten my honeycomb with my honey. I've drunk my wine with my milk.
Son 5:2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. There's a sound! My beloved is knocking.
Son 5:3 "I've taken off my clothes—am I supposed to put them on again? I've washed my feet—am I supposed to get them dirty again?"
Son 5:4 My beloved reached out his hand for the latch. My feelings for him were aroused.
Son 5:5 I got up to open the door, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handle of the lock.
Son 5:6 I opened the door for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away; he was gone! My very life went out when he departed. I searched for him, but couldn't find him. I called out to him, but he didn't answer.
Son 5:7 The watchmen making their rounds through the city found me. They beat me, they bruised me. Those guarding the walls took my coat from me.
Son 5:8 I charge you, young women of Jerusalem, "If you find my beloved, what are you to tell him? Tell him that I'm weak with love."
Son 5:9 What is so special about your beloved, most beautiful of women? What is so special about your beloved, that you charge us like this?
Son 5:10 My beloved is dazzling with a dark and healthy complexion, outstanding among ten thousand.
Son 5:11 His head is pure gold, his hair is wavy, black like a raven.
Son 5:12 His eyes are like doves by streams of water, bathed in milk, mounted like jewels.

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him."
1Co 2:10 But God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 Is there anyone who can understand his own thoughts except his own inner spirit? In the same way, no one can know the thoughts of God except God's Spirit.
1Co 2:12 Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.
1Co 2:13 We don't speak about these things with words taught us by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things to spiritual people.
1Co 2:14 A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the things of God's Spirit, for they are nonsense to him. He can't understand them because they are spiritually evaluated.

Back 7

Rom 12:1 I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercies, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to God, for this is the reasonable way for you to worship.
Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is—what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.

Hint 7

Gal 5:6 for in union with the Messiah Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. What matters is faith expressed through love.
Gal 5:7 You were running the race beautifully. Who cut in on you and stopped you from obeying the truth?
Gal 5:8 Such influence does not come from the one who calls you.
Gal 5:9 A little yeast spreads through the whole batch of dough.
Gal 5:10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view of this. However, the one who is troubling you will suffer God's judgment, whoever he is.
Gal 5:11 As for me, brothers, if I am still preaching the necessity of circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.
Gal 5:12 I wish that those who are upsetting you would castrate themselves!
Gal 5:13 For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love make it your habit to serve one another.
Gal 5:14 For the whole Law is summarized in a single statement: "You must love your neighbor as yourself."
Gal 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not destroyed by each other.
Gal 5:16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never fulfill the desires of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For what the flesh wants is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, and so you do not do what you want to do.
Gal 5:18 But if you are being led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
Gal 5:19 Now the actions of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, promiscuity,
Gal 5:20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, rivalry, jealously, outbursts of anger, quarrels, conflicts, factions,
Gal 5:21 envy, murder, drunkenness, wild partying, and things like that. I am telling you now, as I have told you in the past, that people who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
Gal 5:24 Now those who belong to the Messiah Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.
Gal 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also be guided.
Gal 5:26 Let's stop being arrogant, provoking one another and envying one another.

1Th 5:19 Do not put out the Spirit's fire.

Back 8

Eph 5:15 So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise,
Eph 5:16 making the best use of your time because the times are evil.
Eph 5:17 Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
Eph 5:18 Stop getting drunk with wine, which leads to wild living, but keep on being filled with the Spirit.
Eph 5:19 Then you will recite to one another psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; you will sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts;
Eph 5:20 you will consistently give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah;
Eph 5:21 and you will submit to one another out of reverence for the Messiah.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of his wife as the Messiah is the head of the church. It is he who is the Savior of the body.
Eph 5:24 Indeed, just as the church is submissive to the Messiah, so wives must be submissive to their husbands in everything.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives as the Messiah loved the church and gave himself for it,
Eph 5:26 so that he might make it holy by cleansing it, washing it with water and the word,
Eph 5:27 and might present the church to himself in all its glory, without a spot or wrinkle or anything of the kind, but holy and without fault.
Eph 5:28 In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself.
Eph 5:29 For no one has ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, as the Messiah does the church.
Eph 5:30 For we are parts of his body—of his flesh and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 "That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
Eph 5:32 This is a great secret, but I am talking about the Messiah and the church.
Eph 5:33 But each individual man among you must love his wife as he loves himself; and may the wife fear her husband.
