4:13 Your shoots are a royal garden full of pomegranates
with choice fruits:
henna with nard,

calamus and cinnamon with every kind of spice,
myrrh and aloes with all the finest spices.

Colossians 2:14-16
2:14 He has destroyed
what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness
expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.

the rulers and authorities, he has made a public disgrace of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you with respect to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, new moon, or Sabbath days –
Philippians 4:18
4:18 For I have received everything, and I have plenty. I have all I need because I received from Epaphroditus what you sent – a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, very pleasing to God.
