I am the honored and the scorned,
I am the harlot and the holy one.

Wow. That was...odd.

However, the dance sequence was one of the sexiest things I'd seen in a long while And made me want to go dance in the worst way.

So, my dear, what did you want to discuss about it?

looks like there are some interesting changes:

I am the barren one and the one with many children.
I am she whose marriage is multiple, and I have not taken a husband.
I am the midwife and she who does not give birth.
I am the comforting of my labor pains.

In our little advertisement (note: it is not a film it is an advertisement that uses film to sell it's product) I believe they use the translation

I am she whose marriage is great, and I have not taken a husband.

I found it very daring that they'd even touch gnostic stuff. But they did very discretely cut out anything that might not have sold product. They didn't use the 'I am the whore and the holy one' line at all.

I'm always fascinated by how everything is food for the machine!
