But my eye spared you, and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD'S anointed.’” (1 Samuel 24).

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible (Heb.11:1-3).

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens (2 Cor. 4:16-18-5:1).

19. Where Am I Going? For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better (Phil. 1:21-23).
