Beloved

Matthew 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22
And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Be
loved, with whom I am well pleased.”
And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the
Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”
...and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the
Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”

Matthew 17:5; Mark 9:7
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, the
Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!”
Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the
Beloved; listen to him!”



Colossians 1:13-14
He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.



Colossians 3:12-17
As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. ...forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you... Above all, clothe yourselves with love... And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts... And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly... and with gratitude in your hearts sing... do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
...thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth. For this purpose he called you... so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.





1 John 3:2
Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.

THE LOVE OF CHRIST

Songs 1:5 Dark am I, yet lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
dark like the tents of Kedar,
like the tent curtains of Solomon.

Songs 1:15 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes are doves.
2:1 I am a rose of sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2:2 Like a lily among thorns is my beloved among the maidens.
2:4 He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.
2:5 Strengthen me with raisins,
refresh me with apples,
for I am faint with love.
2:6 His left arm is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.

2:10 My lover spoke and said to me,
"Arise, my beloved one,
my beautiful one, and come with me.

2:14 My dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the hiding places on the mountainside,
show me your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is lovely.

Songs 3:1 All night long on my bed
I looked for the one my heart loves;
I looked for him but did not find him.
3:2 I will get up now and go about the city,
through its streets and squares;
I will search for the one my heart loves.
So I looked for him but did not find him.
3:3 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.
"Have you seen the one my heart loves?"
3:4 Scarcely had I passed them
when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
till I had brought him to my mother's house,
to the room of the one who conceived me.

Songs 4:1 1 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
4:3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
4:4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built with elegance;
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
4:5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
4:6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.
4:7 All beautiful you are, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.

Songs 6:4 You are beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah,
lovely as Jerusalem,
majestic as troops with banners.
6:5 Turn your eyes from me;
they overwhelm me.

Songs 7:10 I belong to my lover,
and his desire is for me.

Songs 8:5 Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
8:6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
8:7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.

Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
