我知此我屬地之幕屋既壞、則有天主所造、非人手所造之屋、永遠在天、

Dear friends, now we are children of God. He still hasn’t let us know what we will be. But we know that when Christ appears, we will be like him. That’s because we will see him as he really is.

I know that my redeemer lives. In the end he will stand on the earth.Though my skin will be destroyed, in my body I’ll see God.

I think it is right for me to remind you. It is right as long as I live in this tent. I’m talking about my body.I know my tent will soon be removed. Our Lord Jesus Christ has made that clear to me.

Treasure is kept in clay jars. In the same way, we have the treasure of the good news in these earthly bodies of ours. That shows that the mighty power of the good news comes from God. It doesn’t come from us.

But Christ came to be the high priest of the good things already here now. When he came, he went through the greater and more perfect holy tent. This tent was not made with human hands. In other words, it is not a part of this creation.

Christ did not enter a sacred tent made with human hands. That tent was only a copy of the true one. He entered heaven itself. He did it to stand in front of God for us. He is there right now.

What is spiritual did not come first. What is earthly came first. What is spiritual came after that.The first man came from the dust of the earth. The second man came from heaven.Those who belong to the earth are like the one who came from the earth. And those who are spiritual are like the heavenly man.

So he’ll certainly find fault with human beings. After all, they are made out of dust. They can be crushed more easily than a moth.

While we live in this tent of ours, we groan under our heavy load. We don’t want to be naked. Instead, we want to be fully dressed with our house in heaven. What must die will be swallowed up by life.

He has given us new birth so that we might share in what belongs to him. This is a gift that can never be destroyed. It can never spoil or even fade away. It is kept in heaven for you.

There are many rooms in my Father’s house. If this were not true, would I have told you that I am going there? Would I have told you that I would prepare a place for you there?If I go and do that, I will come back. And I will take you to be with me. Then you will also be where I am.

You will have to work hard and sweat a lot to produce the food you eat. You were made out of the ground. You will return to it when you die. You are dust, and you will return to dust.”

So everything will be destroyed in this way. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.

When you received Christ, your circumcision was not done by human hands. Instead, your circumcision was done by Christ. He put away the person you used to be. At that time, sin’s power ruled over you.

“ We heard him say,‘ I will destroy this temple made by human hands. In three days I will build another temple, not made by human hands.’ ”

Abraham was looking forward to the city that has foundations. He was waiting for the city that God planned and built.

We work together to serve God. You are like God’s field. You are like his building.

You pick me up and blow me away with the wind. You toss me around in the storm.

My enemies will turn back when I call out to you for help. Then I will know that God is on my side.

That’s why I’m suffering the way I am. But this gives me no reason to be ashamed. That’s because I know who I have believed in. I am sure he is able to take care of what I have given him. I can trust him with it until the day he returns as judge.
