希伯來書 11:40
since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
因為神給我們預備了更美的事，叫他們若不與我們同得，就不能完全。
哥林多前書 2:9
However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" - the things God has prepared for those who love him-
如經上所記：神為愛他的人所預備的是眼睛未曾看見，耳朵未曾聽見，人心也未曾想到的。
雅各書 2:5
Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?
我親愛的弟兄們，請聽，神豈不是揀選了世上的貧窮人，叫他們在信上富足，並承受他所應許給那些愛他之人的國嗎？
馬太福音 8:11
I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
我又告訴你們，從東從西，將有許多人來，在天國裡與亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各一同坐席；
希伯來書 11:14
- 16
People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.
If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
Instead, they were longing for a better country-a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
說這樣話的人是表明自己要找一個家鄉。
他們若想念所離開的家鄉，還有可以回去的機會。
他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉，就是在天上的。所以神被稱為他們的神，並不以為恥，因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。
希伯來書 13:14
For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
我們在這裡本沒有常存的城，乃是尋求那將來的城。
