They desire

For people who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the joyful assembly

God is

For both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

To be

But as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God,

And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.'

'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.' Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
