Hebrews 11:10

James Moffatt - New Testament

he was waiting for the City with its fixed foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

See the chapter Copy

(for we have no lasting city here below, we seek the City to come).

But we are a colony of heaven, and we wait for the Saviour who comes from heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ,

You have come to mount Sion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to myriads of angels in festal gathering,

I know that if this earthly tent of mine is taken down, I get a home from God, made by no human hands, eternal in the heavens.

(Every house is founded by someone, but God is the founder of all.)

In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, would I have told you that I was going to prepare a place for you?

And I saw the holy City, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, all ready like a bride arrayed for her husband.

Therefore let us render thanks that we get an unshaken realm; and in this way let us worship God acceptably —

but they really aspire to the better land in heaven. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God; he has prepared a City for them.)
