Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Mr. Ruskin speaks in his "Love's Meinie" of the "Little Crake, a bird which lays her eggs on an inartificially constructed platform of decayed leaves or stalks of marsh plants, slightly elevated above the water. How elevated I cannot find proper account, that is to say, whether it is hung to the stems of growing reeds, or built on hillocks of soil, but the bird is always liable to have its nest overflown by floods" (H. O. Mackey.) Parallel Verses KJV: For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.WEB: For we don't have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come. |
