故心恆安、知存於身、則離於主、

故我心毅然、且知己居於身、則離於主、

因是吾人常具大無畏精神；且深知吾人之寄於軀壳中、猶如暫別主之庭闈、而作客他鄉者也。

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For I am a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.

For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:

The elders therefore among you I exhort, who am a fellow- elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

I John, your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience which are in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge.

Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.

I am a sojourner in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me.

For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.

For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.

And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
