so that they will be like his glorious body.”

17. a better country—a heavenly one.
Hebrews 11: 13-16
13 “All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 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.”
