Commentators like John Gill point out that this verse is a direct repetition from Song of Solomon 4:3. This is intentional. It serves to confirm the beloved's beauty and to show that Christ's love and esteem for His church remain constant, even after periods of failure or infirmity. His view of His people is not diminished by their imperfections.
