Hebrews 10:34

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
