⁵By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he has the testimony that he had pleased God.

¹³All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.
¹⁴For they who say such things shew clearly that they seek their country.
¹⁵And if they had called to mind that from whence they went out, they had had opportunity to have returned;
¹⁶but now they seek a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.
¹⁷By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten son,

³⁵Women received their dead again by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, that they might get a better resurrection;
³⁶and others underwent trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, and of bonds and imprisonment.

• The Bridegroom. (Vss. 8-11). (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• Here for the first time we hear the Bridegroom's voice. He addresses the bride as the "fairest among women." Black in her own sight she may be, hated too and persecuted by others, but in His sight, she is the "fairest among women." Nothing will alter Christ's estimate of His people. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• Would we know where to find food and rest for our souls we must follow in the footsteps of the flock. Christ has His flock and His shepherds in this world. And Christ, the chief Shepherd of the sheep, leads His flock into green pastures. Would we be fed, then let us follow in the footsteps of the flock. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• Let her feed the lambs beside the shepherd's tents, and in feeding others she will herself be fed. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)
