Luke 12:34

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

while we don’t look 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 our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

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

Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.

Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

seeing your pure behavior in fear.

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.

There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.

But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”

and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”

who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
