² Set your mind on things above, not on things on the ^(A)earth. ^3 (B)For you died, ^(C)and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ^4 (D)When Christ who is ^(E)our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in ^(F)glory.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let ^(A)not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many ^[a]mansions; if it were not so, ^[b]I would have told you. ^(B)I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(C)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that ^(D)where I am, there you may be also.

²⁴ Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(A)unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much ^[a]grain. ^25 (B)He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. ²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him ^(C)follow Me; and ^(D)where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

⁵ And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, ^(A)I will bring adversity on all flesh,” says the Lord. “But I will give your ^(B)life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.” ’ ”
