This is Solomon's song of songs, more wonderful than any other.

Young Woman: 2"Kiss me again and again, for your love is sweeter than wine. 3How fragrant your cologne, and how pleasing your name! No wonder all the young women love you! 4Take me with you. Come, let's run! Bring me into your bedroom, O my king."

Young Women of Jerusalem: "How happy we are for him! We praise his love even more than wine."

Young Woman: "How right that the young women love you!"

5"I am dark and beautiful, O women of Jerusalem, tanned as the dark tents of Kedar. Yes, even as the tents of Solomon!

6"Don't look down on me, you fair city girls, just because my complexion is so dark. The sun has burned my skin. My brothers were angry with me and sent me out to tend the vineyards in the hot sun. Now see what it has done to me!"

7"Tell me, O my love, where are you leading your flock today? Where will you rest your sheep at noon? For why should I wander like a prostitute among the flocks of your companions?"

Young Man: 8"If you don't know, O most beautiful woman, follow the trail of my flock to the shepherds' tents, and there feed your young goats. 9What a lovely filly you are, my beloved one! 10How lovely are your cheeks, with your earrings setting them afire! How stately is your neck, accented with a long string of jewels. 11We will make earrings of gold for you and beads of silver."

Young Woman: 12"The king is lying on his couch, enchanted by the fragrance of my perfume. 13My lover is like a sachet of myrrh lying between my breasts. 14He is like a bouquet of flowers in the gardens of En-gedi."

Young Man: 15"How beautiful you are, my beloved, how beautiful! Your eyes are soft like doves."

Young Woman: 16"What a lovely, pleasant sight you are, my love, as we lie here on the grass, 17shaded by cedar trees and spreading firs."

12Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed out the mountains and the hills?

29He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak. 30Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up. 31But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

8Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit."

10Though hostile nations surrounded me,

I destroyed them all in the name

of the Lord.

11Yes, they surrounded and attacked me,

but I destroyed them all in the name

of the Lord.

18The Lord has punished me severely,

but he has not handed me over to death.

22The stone rejected by the builders

has now become the cornerstone.

24This is the day the Lord has made.

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

29Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!

His faithful love endures forever.

13You made all the delicate, inner parts

of my body

and knit me together in my mother's

womb.

14Thank you for making me so wonderfully

complex!

Your workmanship is marvelous-and

how well I know it.

15You watched me as I was being formed

in utter seclusion

as I was woven together in the dark

of the womb.

16You saw me before I was born.

Every day of my life was recorded in

your book.

Every moment was laid out

before a single day had passed.

Psalm 139:17-18 NLT

17How precious are your thoughts about

me, O God!

They are innumerable!

18I can't even count them;

they outnumber the grains of sand!

And when I wake up in the morning,

you are still with me!

1 Corinthians 2:11-12 NLT

11No one can know what anyone else is really thinking except that person alone, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. 12And God has actually given us his Spirit (not the world's spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT

19Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.  

Romans 14:3 NLT

3Those who think it is all right to eat anything must not look down on those who won't. And those who won't eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them.

1 Corinthians 12:4-7 NLT

4Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all. 5There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. 6There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us. 7A Spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.  

Proverbs 22:29 NLT

29Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than ordinary people

 The LORD protects me from danger-

so why should I tremble?
