Friday in Easter

9Verse 9. How is your beloved better than others, O most beautiful among women? How is your beloved better than another, that you charge us so? 10Verse 10. My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand. 11Verse 11. His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven. 12Verse 12. His eyes are like doves beside the streams of water, bathed in milk and mounted like jewels. 13Verse 13. His cheeks are like beds of spice, towers of perfume. His lips are like lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh. 14Verse 14. His arms are rods of gold set with beryl. His body is polished ivory bedecked with sapphires. 15Verse 15. His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, as majestic as the cedars. 16Verse 16. His mouth is most sweet; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. 1Verse 1. Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Which way has he turned? We will seek him with you. 2Verse 2. My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens and to gather lilies. 3Verse 3. I belong to my beloved and he belongs to me; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

1Verse 1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm. 2Verse 2. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3Verse 3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4Verse 4. that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5Verse 5. and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve. 6Verse 6. After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7Verse 7. Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8Verse 8. And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth. 9Verse 9. For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10Verse 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them — yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11Verse 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
