dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old
you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you
and lead you where you do not want to go. Jesus said this to
indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. (John
21:18-19a) Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved
was following them When Peter saw him, he asked, Lord, what about
him? Jesus answered, If I want him to remain alive until I return,
what is that to you? You must follow me. (John 21:20-22) As he

divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household
divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25b) (nephesh)

Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and
their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior
from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables
him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly
bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. (Philippians
3:19-21) For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us
an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes
not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (II Corinthians 4:17-18)
So do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink?
or What shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things,
and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first
his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be
given to you as well. (Matthew 6:31-33)
