I say of the holy people who are in the land,“ They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”

As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.

The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!

As for the holy people who are in the land, they are the noble ones. All my delight is in them.

As for the saints who are on the earth, They are the majestic ones; all my delight is in them.

As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

God is fair. He will not forget what you have done. He will remember the love you have shown him. You showed it when you helped his people. And you show it when you keep on helping them.

“ The day is coming when I will judge,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ On that day they will be my special treasure. I will spare them just as a father loves and spares his son who serves him.

Walk with wise people and become wise. A companion of foolish people suffers harm.

You can trust this saying. These things are important. Treat them that way. Then those who trust in God will be careful to commit themselves to doing good. These things are excellent. They are for the good of everyone.

I, Paul, am writing this letter. I am an apostle of Christ Jesus just as God planned. I am sending this letter to you, God’s holy people in Ephesus. Because you belong to Christ Jesus, you are faithful.

People will not call you Deserted anymore. They will no longer name your land Empty. Instead, you will be called One the Lord Delights In. Your land will be named Married One. That’s because the Lord will take delight in you. And your land will be married.

The Lord pays special attention when his faithful people die.

His whole world filled me with joy. I took delight in all human beings.

Godly people are careful about the friends they choose. But the way of sinners leads them down the wrong path.

Husbands, love your wives. Love them just as Christ loved the church. He gave himself up for her.He did it to make her holy. He made her clean by washing her with water and the word.He did it to bring her to himself as a brightly shining church. He wants a church that has no stain or wrinkle or any other flaw. He wants a church that is holy and without blame.

So when we can do good to everyone, let us do it. Let’s try even harder to do good to the family of believers.

I’m a friend to everyone who has respect for you. I’m a friend to everyone who follows your rules.

“ Lord,” Ananias answered,“ I’ve heard many reports about this man. They say he has done great harm to your holy people in Jerusalem.

“ Lord God, rise up and come to your resting place. Come in together with the ark. It’s the sign of your power. Lord God, may your priests put on salvation as if it were their clothes. May your faithful people be glad because you are so good.

I will look with favor on the faithful people in the land. They will live with me. Those whose lives are without blame will serve me.

We know that we have left our old dead way of life. And we have entered into new life. We know this because we love one another. Anyone who doesn’t love still lives in their old condition.Anyone who hates their brother or sister is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal life.We know what love is because Jesus Christ gave his life for us. So we should give our lives for our brothers and sisters.Suppose someone sees a brother or sister in need and is able to help them. And suppose that person doesn’t take pity on these needy people. Then how can the love of God be in that person?

Sing the praises of the Lord, you who are faithful to him. Praise him, because his name is holy.

“ I belong to you, my love. And you long for me.

“ You are so beautiful, my love! So beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are like doves. Your hair flows like a flock of black goats coming down from the hills of Gilead.Your teeth are as clean as a flock of sheep. Their wool has just been clipped. They have just come up from being washed. Each of your teeth has its twin. Not one of them is alone.Your lips are like a bright red ribbon. Your mouth is so lovely. Your cheeks behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate.Your neck is strong and beautiful like the tower of David. That tower is built with rows of stones. A thousand shields are hanging on it. All of them belong to mighty soldiers.Your breasts are lovely. They are like two young antelopes that eat among the lilies.I will go to the mountain of myrrh. I’ll go to the hill of incense. I’ll stay there until the day begins and the shadows fade away.Every part of you is so beautiful, my love. There is no flaw in you.
