Male and female he created them...
The two of them become one body.
I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant...
In this love for Rebekah, Isaac found solace after the death of his mother.
For wherever you go I will go, where you lodge, I will lodge...
May the Lord of heaven prosper you both. May he grant you mercy and peace.
Hark! My lover here he comes...
Happy the husband of a good wife...
Share your bread with the hungry...
The days are coming says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant...
Jerusalem, take off your robe of mourning and misery.
I will make a covenant for them on that day...
Only to do right and to love goodness...to walk humbly with God.

If God is for us, who can be against us?
My friends, let love be sincere, hate what is evil, hold onto what is good.
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit.
Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous...
Through faith you are all children of God.
I give thanks to my God every time I think of you...
May Jesus Christ dwell in your hearts through faith.
I urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received.
Follow Jesus Christ by loving as he loved you.
I give thank to God at every remembrance of you...
And over all these put on love, that is the bond of perfection.
So it is with faith that does nothing in practice...
All of you should be of one mind, sympathetic, loving toward one another.
Those who keep God's commandments remain in God and God in them.
Let us love one another, because love is of God.
We have come to know and believe in the love that God has for us.
Salvation, glory and might belong do God.
Then I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth...
