Song 1:4, 8:6-7, Mat 10:37-38, Luk 7:42-47, Joh 14:21-23, 2Cor 8:8-9 | ESV | STEP | Draw me after you; let us run . The king has brought me into his chambers . We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine ; rightly do they love you.

6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as ^fa seal upon your arm,
for ^glove is strong as death,
^hjealousy ^{▼▼Or ardor} is fierce as the grave. ^{▼▼Hebrew as Sheol}
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very ^kflame of the Lord.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
all the wealth of his ^lhouse,
he ^{▼▼Or it} would be utterly despised.

Matthew 10:37-38

37 ⁿWhoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And ^owhoever does not take his cross and ^pfollow me is not worthy of me.

Luke 7:42-47

42 ^qWhen they could not pay, he ^rcancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; ^syou gave me no water for my feet, but ^tshe has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 ^uYou gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to ^vkiss my feet. 46 ^wYou did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, ^xwhich are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”

John 14:21-23

21 ^yWhoever has my commandments and ^zkeeps them, he it is who loves me. And ^aahe who loves me ^abwill be loved by my Father, and I will love him and ^acmanifest myself to him.” 22 ^adJudas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ^aethat you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, ^af“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ^agwe will come to him and ^ahmake our home with him.

2 Corinthians 8:8-9

8 ^aiI say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ^ajthough he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
