⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

²⁰ For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁹ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:

²¹ for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.

¹⁸ The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom `be' the glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁷ for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;

⁹ But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

² Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.

⁸ Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

² Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.

³ There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard.

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

¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

¹⁸ Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

² Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

¹ For everything there is a season, and a time for very purpose under heaven:

²⁴ Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith Jehovah.

¹⁵ As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
