29He that hath a wife, is the husband or the spouse; but the friend of the spouse that standeth, and heareth him, joyeth with joy, for the voice of the spouse. Therefore in this thing my joy is fulfilled.
30It behooveth him to wax, (or It is necessary for him to grow, or to increase), but me to be made less or to be diminished.
