The following is a translation of the text that appears in Religious Text with Two Women in Striped Dresses. The text in the central heart-shaped field translates to:
When I see a beautiful girl
to whom God has given so much beauty,
I have to think: God who could create
out of nothing so many beautiful things
must be much greater than we can imagine.
While below appears the message:
Who loves Jesus must love the One
who will take you into heaven.
