¹⁶ But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

¹⁴ For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

¹⁰ For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

²⁰ For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

² In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

¹¹ For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

³⁴ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

²² But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

¹⁴ For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

¹⁸ And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
