Ezra 9:7-9
King James Version
7 Since the days of our fathers
have we been in a great trespass unto this day;
and for our iniquities have we,
our kings,
and our priests,
been delivered into the hand
of the kings of the lands,
to the sword,
to captivity,
and to a spoil,
and to confusion of face,
as it is this day.
8 And now for a little space
grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God,
to leave us a remnant to escape,
and to give us a nail in his holy place,
that our God may lighten our eyes,
and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
9 For we were bondmen;
yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage,
but hath extended mercy unto us
in the sight of the kings of Persia,
to give us a reviving,
to set up the house of our God,
and to repair the desolations thereof,
and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 57:10
King James Version
10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way;
yet saidst thou not,
There is no hope:
thou hast found the life of thine hand;
therefore thou wast not grieved.
1 Corinthians 15:45-49
King James Version
45 And so it is written,
The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural;
and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy;
the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy,
such are they also that are earthy:
and as is the heavenly,
such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
