'Higher' in the Bible

But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

And it came about that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having gone through the higher country, came to Ephesus, where there were certain disciples:

Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God.

Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.
