Ezekiel 44:25

Matthew 8:21-22

Then another one of His disciples said to Him, "Allow me to go and bury my father first."

Luke 9:59-60

And [then] He said to another person, "Become my follower." But he replied, "Lord, allow me to go and bury my father first."

So, from now on we will not regard any person by worldly standards, even though we [once] regarded Christ that way. But we will not regard Him [that way] anymore. [Note: Paul seems to be saying that before his conversion he viewed Christ on the basis of His family, His education, His position, etc., but since his conversion he does not view Him that way anymore].

1 Thessalonians 4:13-15

But we want you to be informed, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep [in death] so that you do not grieve, as other people do [i.e., the unsaved], who have no hope.
