For those that say such things declare plainly that they seek their native country.

And not only they, but ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is to say, the redemption of our body.

while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For I am in a strait between the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better:

But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one; therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one that is coming.
