And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.

And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
